Life is beautiful
Yet also cruelly brutal
I feel winter’s edge
The strange dichotomies of life. Finding beauty with the deep sadness upon friend’s wings. At times I feel an awkward wonder at what our heart’s hold at the same time.

A meditation on lossĀ
News received
Unpleasantly
Deeply tinged
With sadness
Into a mirror
Gazing, wondering,
Unshaven for this
Weekend
Grey dominates
My beard
Change comes,
Celebrated at times
Or with dread
But it comes
Inevitably
Flame flutters
Victim of the breeze
Candles flicker
Departing from
Pedestals
Into the
Stars
A Lament
Sorrow erupting
Reaching through my heart’s asbyss
Loss’s echoes haunt
A Lament
Sorrow erupting
Reaching through my heart’s asbyss
Loss’s echoes haunt
