I decided to try out some poetry today. Feeling sadness at the loss of someone in our family.
I have tried to express the emptiness I feel. It's so hard to craft the words. But the act of writing is consoling....
The emptiness whispers
Of your presence
And for a moment I wonder
Where have you gone?
The emptiness shouts
Your name.
And I expect to see you
Step softly around the corner.
The emptiness roars
Of sadness.
And I realize the emptiness
Will not bring you back to me.
The emptiness
Isn't speaking to me.
It's the break in my heart
That cries for you.
