HEALING
You sit in the shadow of sorrow
seeking, searching
for the magic that will make the pain
go away
Weep what you must weep,
not only for this loss
but for all other losses
you have sustained
in this life
Surrender into the memory
of what once was,
and can no longer be
This Winter of your life
will pass
as all seasons do
Stay in your season
of Winterness
as long as need be
for everything you feel
is appropriate
There is no right way
to grieve –
there is just Your way
It will take
as long as it takes
It is important
to be ever so gentle,
kind, loving and giving
to yourself right now
