Lose Everything

Life and Grief married before you were born –  
forever soul mates.

Grief mirrors, shape shifts; she’s never absent – 
she casts a shadow while you experience Light.

Grief, the huntress, stealth, persistent –  
stalks you as prey, nips your heels.
 
Grief, like love, like Life, never dies.
She awaits your embrace.

Grief mirrors, shape shifts; she’s always present –  
she casts the shadow while you experience Light.

Grief penetrates, she heals – bitter and sweet, 
a life-giving pill you hesitate to swallow.

No one has ever died from Grief – 
only from the fear of grieving ...

a fear that renders living 
unbearable.
