Good Grief

Slowly

slowly

the veil is lifted

look up

accept the sun's comfort

Ah, that's what it felt like

it's been so cold 

 so dark

for so long

One day a sliver of joy streams in

with its friend hope

Shedding light

you remember

fondly

without tears

laugh again

A far better tribute

to live your life

lay your cautious heart bare

celebrate

 what was

who's left

 what is and

what's to come.
