Hope to Despair and back again.....

Hope then despair and back again....



Hopeful

I sense flickers of light.

Barely there, but increasing with time.

Slowly and sometimes with effort,

The pinpoint ray of hope and peace

Penetrates my spirit and soothes my heart.

Returning me to the person of long ago and

Promising a new beginning.

Grieving the Future

I grieve for losses

Without death.

I grieve for time

That is no longer mine.

I grieve for loneliness

of the heart.

I grieve for the days and hours

I won’t see you.

I grieve for the laughter

You bring to me….

Every day.

I grieve for the part of me torn away

Sooner than I expected.

Leaving me

Without any days to look forward to

Or hours to spend giving you a part of my soul.

My mind knows you will be near

But my heart is empty and longing

For the next time we are together.
