Like a knife through our heart

A poem about grief

Dedicated to all souls who have lost a loved one.

In the face of insurmountable grief, we stand united.

Strong, defiant, closing our ranks, not our hearts, to the pain within.

Faced with insurmountable suffering, we come together.

We shed the common tear, hold the wings of Isis and pray for better days.

When grief comes, like a knife through our heart, we turn within; we return to the source of life and kiss the Earth we stand.

We will always remember those gone before, lives snatched and unwillingly taken from our sun.

We will always come back to our truth, the knowledge that the circle of life revolves 24/7 as the sun and moon conjunct to form a protective barrier around our core.

We will always remember the lives of loved ones, safe in the bosom of our hearts.

If you are mourning the loss of a dear one, keep well, dear friend.

Remember, you are not alone.

We are here, holding your space, keeping you safe and warm.

Keep writing, dear friends. The world needs your piece.
