Holes In My Grief

All thro' this ordeal
You have carried me
Held me tight
Despite my squirming

And now
You have poked holes in my grief
Hope shines and refreshes
But what is that hope?
I thought I had accepted
I thought I had moved on
But now I understand
That I was blind
That I was suffocating
You shine and You breathe into me

Other lights I brought
But they dimmed
I changed the batteries
But again they dimmed

Your light is true
Your light lasts
And needs no recharging

You have poked holes in my grief
Now I can breathe
And I long to see
With great clarity
What lies on the other side

Indiana Shaw July 1, 2017 at 6:27 PM Bless you - It's hard to let go and find life on the otherside - lets hope whoever that is poking holes in your grief continues and your longing to see what lies on the otherside continues and the grief you have suffered subsides into one long lasting bright light . . .
