Grief draws
big black lines
around my loneliness
heightens all my fears
Grief lays stark every vulnerability
and doubt
and dusts away the cobwebs
of memories both lost and hidden.
It comes again and again and again
relentlessly
an unwanted monsoon storm,
a necessary cruelty
and I keep hoping that it is just a season
that the sun will shine on me and warm me again
but the days get colder, gloomier,
and winter must first be braved.

Love how you've made your poetry into art. I'm inspired to try it myself.
Thank you for sharing this, the way you've expressed yourself is so beautiful. I'm sure you've heard a thousand times, but I am sorry for your lose.
Oh thank you both :o) Lunar I often feel so guilty when I visit someone's blog and want to try something similar - but when I read your comment my heart leapt, it felt such an honour that you felt that way about it (so thanks for freeing me of some of that HUGe amount of ridiculous false guilt I lug around my life LOL) and .. er, Free, or shd I call u Bitch (?! LOL) .. I can never hear that enough .. if you said it to me 20 years from now I'd still appreciate it .. thank you ..
By the way, Lunar - although I often "draw" words, that's the first time I ever actually composed a poem while drawing it out :o) having just re-permitted myself to indulge in an old passion - doodling :o) it's a poetic doodle, a poodle!
Beautiful combo of feeling and doodles xxx Sadness has a way of oozing out at just the right time and in just the right way (((hugs)))

Good job. :)
But remember that winter, however gloomy and crepuscular will, just as inexorably, be followed by spring - that wonderful time of rebirth, promise and hope. Delve deep into winter's chill and fight it with all your might. Be assured, you do have the power and strength to overcome, you already have. And He is always by your side. God bless Nazu, we too are here.
Rohini
