Swimming In Grief
Like
swimming
upstream is
swimming with grief.
You try so hard to
keep from going under.
You feel yourself drowning, and
while you flounder, you wonder if
ever you might find any relief -
relief for the pain that won’t go away.
You feel a great weight is pulling you down -
down to the depths of your greatest woe -
deeper and deeper and deeper.
How can you upstream proceed?
You don’t know what to do
You pray for something
to hang onto
as down and
down you
go
