Because This Must Be
Because This Must Be.
Why from the olive dark sea
The plaintive waves never cease.
Why from the darkest clouds
The rain falls indeterminate.
Why when the long shadows cast
The chill winds take away warmth.
Why when the first snow dusts
The happiness melts immediate.
Why when when the autumn mists
The shrouded trees part of leaf.
Why when the dawn dew forms
The grass remains unnoticed.
Why when the moon sunlight chased
The stars sparkle fades.
Because this must

Mirror Dark
Mirror Dark
A mirror stare into the abyss,
Surface scored with the black-lines.
Drawn to the well of emptiness,
But the mirror refuses to reflect.
Casting only darkness.
Nothing left. Nothing left.
Drained of everything you are,
A palpable increasing dolour.
Eyes scanning the void
For light that ever faded.
Casting only darkness.
Nothing left. Nothing left.

Lay / Lie
Lay / Lie
Lay down low,
Embrace the floor.
I'm lying, I'm lying,
Can't lay any lower.
Can't lie
Anymore.

Letters
Letters I wrote you a letter,
But words scattered,
Lost in the winds.
I wrote you a letter,
But the ink ran,
Smudged by tears.
I wrote you a letter,
Each sentence punctuated
By unending memories.
I wrote you a letter
Sent it post haste,
Before the pages returned to blank.
I wrote you a letter
Tried to finish it with a comma,
But it finished with a
Full
Stop.

No Longer Present
No Longer Present
Wind echoed memories
Left the streets sad and empty
No longer present
Clouds gathered to grey
Their weeping swept the streets clean
No longer present
The sun hid ashamed
The streets shivered cold and damp
No longer present
And with the nightfall
The streets faded to darkness
No longer present #loss #sadness #grief #bereavment

Conversation With Your Memory
Conversation With Your Memory
How have you been?
(The leaves rustled in the breeze)
What have you been up to?
(The shadows danced in the sunlight)
I miss you very much
(The dark clouds appeared overhead)
I'll come again next week
(The sun faded to a cold wind)
Speak to you soon
(The silence fell like raindrops)

Bench by the River
A bench by the river,
Soft flow with birdsong
And winds blowing an unseasonal cold,
Amongst clouds that languidly float
Reflected in the river calm.
Dogs pass on eager walks.
Or curious, appear by my side uninvited,
A sniff and a cocked leg and not even a goodbye.
The owners cock an eyebrow
And cast a hurried hello.
The joggers and walkers
Dodge the cyclists and talkers,
Jumping at insistent bell rings
That chime with the cathedral
As the hour moves to eleven.

Flickers
A face flickers
Flame shone and memory lit
Dancing in the shadows
Gentle smiles cracked to laughter
That brought light and warmth.
Yet now the grey smoke drifts
Evaporating into nothing
No trace of the remembered face
Just the cold and dark of shadow
After the laughter stopped. #sadness #loss #grief #bereavement #light #dark

Beyond the Cloud Lands
Beyond the Cloud lands
Beyond the cloud lands,
Where those who exist are
Memories made steadfast
And solid formed.
Where the dissipated souls
Regather and rekindle
The flame of life.
Where tranquil gardens
Perfume the warming air,
And the wearied feet
That once trod earthen sod
Are cooled in sunlit streams.
Beyond the cloud lands.
The saddened heads turn
To the heavenly sky.
A desire one day to join
The rested ones.
A joyful reunion where clouds weep,
To please the hidden d

Trees and Shadows
Trees and Shadows
I remember when we walked
Under shaded trees and dappled sunlight
Your hand held tight in mine.
But now I walk through shadows
Shivering in their chill sadness
And your hand is only air and memories
_____________________________
You remember the times when you were together. You recall each moment. You feel the hand still in yours. Even when those times, that precious hand, have become air and memories.
Grief is an unforgiving partner. You turn a corner

Faded Shadows
Faded Shadows
When you left you took your shadow with you.
And once your shadow had faded to sunlight,
I knew the darkness would descend.
For while a shadow is of no substance,
It contained every part of you.
It confirmed you were still here.
Where your shadow once fell
Tears fall to evaporate in the unforgiving sun,
And now only memories appear as shadows. #grief #loss #sadness #bereavement #shadows #darkness

Night Memories
Night Memories
So come gather your memories
Swirling in the night air.
Await the stillness of dreams,
Where silence greets you.
Let the darkness be the canvas
For every colour past.
Peel back those saddening layers.
Expose the happiness buried beneath the grieving.
A dormant happiness,
Ready for reawakening.
Polish those memories to a glittering.
And reveal the healing.

When you live with grief, the sadness builds
in layers. It piles higher

The Sea Wastes
The Sea Wastes The greyscale and pallid skies
Pitifully stared upon the sea wastes.
Turbulent, unending and saddened calls
Wave upon mournful wave collapsing
Onto a silent shore, bereft and lifeless.
Where single cries absorbed to shingle memory. The laughing gulls patrolled the windswept seafront,
Mocking the silence, piercing the sea memories.
Oh happy shores! When sunlight was warmth
And life. And the waves were an infinite pleasure.
Not each wave that endlessly b

Memories in Dawn Light
Memories in Dawn Light
Did you not see the sun rise?
Or feel the night breath?
Did you not listen to the dawn song?
Or disturb the silver dew drops?
Did you not witness the sky in colour dance?
Or hear the leaf welcome in gentle breeze?
No. You did not.
For you are the light of dawn
And sun painted skies.
For you are the dew drop tears
And the wind that breathes life to memories.
I saw, I listened, I felt everything that morning.
Though you had gone,
The morn

The Well
The Well The well stood untended,
Bricks, red and weathered, hand-fired
Rounded and smoothed over centuries.
Absent-minded, I tossed a coin into the darkness.
A coin, heavy, a reassuring solidity.
It disappeared into the blackness and
Fell unheard, unseen, unnoticed.
Until I had forgotten it had ever nestled in the warmth of my pocket. I did not hear it splash in the bottom of the well
I did not hear it clatter against the side walls
Nothing. Just a silence that flo

Share the Silence
Share The Silence.
Come, sit.
Share the silence.
Because silence brings memories.
Like wind songs, they never leave.
Some days they roar, urgent.
But on other days, they whisper.
Brought by silence,
Found in stillness.
Come, sit
Share the silence.
The memories will be here. #silence #memories #bereavement #loss

As life-seconds constant pass,
Is everything now. _____________________________

Light Upon Dark Water
Light Upon Dark Water
The water held darkness
But glinted and shone hopeful
The surface denied the depths
And light still remained _____________________________ Even the darkests days see the light. We just need to let it in. #light #dark #hope #depression #sadness #optimism #loss #grief
