time machine...

rambling poetic thoughts

This poem/mournful nursery rhyme is about grief and the phases of sadness that accompany significant loss. We all grieve at some point, and maybe it lingers, and then it quiets down, but then it gets loud again. The good news is you are not alone. Sending love to everyone who has lost a dear family member, a beautiful friend, a beloved pet, your good health, your great love, your house to the elements, your career to the politics, your sweet mother, your wise father, your precious child, your hope, your kindness. whatever it is…I send love.

just waiting on the pain to pass

the stone to have a softer edge

the cracks to fill with soothing light

for calm that slowly comes at night

a melody that lifts my heart

from where it has fallen dark

a twist in the storyline

a machine that takes me back in time
