Line Gauthier Poet Free verse

Never Truly Alone

for the longest while I was balancing two loves but...



heartless and conniving
in a brutal coup
death ran off with
the love of my life
my one true north

suddenly lost
my compass
out of order

to the rescue
my loyal muse
the moon
stepping up
to get me
to my feet
and help me
somehow
carry on

John Hamilton March 16, 2021 at 1:08 PM It's so true Line, writing helps get through the difficult times of grief. My Mom recently lost my Dad, were together 64 years, the only man she knew since 16 years old. She seems so lost sometimes but we talk everyday, she has to find her new north as you do, my thoughts are with you! Line Gauthier March 16, 2021 at 8:57 PM Thank you so much, John. My condolences to you and your mom ~
