Alexis, congratulations on your win. You have so poetically expressed the questions of grief. I hear their echoes in the questions we ask at times like this when death visits "too soon." So well done in this Etheree form. Blessings of comfort to you.

When death comes unexpected, it is such a shock ! Death is a buffoon who has no stage sense...or propriety ! Congratulations on your win Alexis

Alexis, this is such a great poem - I really like the way you have approached the theme of death - personal, and universal. This has happened to my family too, I am still grieving - and probably will for the rest of my life. Love and hugs ~ Mala
