all that loss
does not go away in a jiffy
tears cannot wipe them
the wounds stay fresh
below a little scratch
the rawness slows
the raging fires
in the heart…
hold on to you
stay afloat
this shall also pass

Don’t hide
The mystery of existence
engages and discards
in the whirlwind of its activities
we are tossed around
don’t be afraid
put your ears to the ground
obey what they tell you
in whispered monologues
you are not the only one
fighting the tears
in the nook of your arm
Loss
A huge shadow of grief
on the horizon of loss
envelops the pain
of collective deprivation
hearts crushed
bodies wounded
words meaningless
yet potent like poison
better unspoken and unread
