ESSENTIAL GRIEF
Grief is sacred,
It speaks from the depths of our losses
and the core of our humanness,
It is loves’ remorse for not embracing more often
And more fully
Those we have loved and those we neglected to love
while we had the chance.
Grief is holy,
It is love too late for our beloved
yet just in time for our selves.
Grief is the hearts truth,
It is love itself weeping for its’ own loss.
Grief is a healing balm
exuded from our wounds
to our wounds,
It admits ones true vulnerability and sensitivity
to oneself and the world at large.
Grief is accountable,
an admission of every selfish
thought or action
We did or did not take.
Grief is the rightness
that forgives us our wrongs
and though it often comes late it is
never too late.
