SHAKEN BALANCE
Suddenly My Path Got Jumbled
My Certain Plan Suddenly Was Unclear
Instinct , Find Strength Internal, Instead , I Just Found Fear
Charting a Courageous Course
Was a Plan That Soon Crumbled
Now I Just Pray This Deep Sadness Disappears
This Jumbled Path Defines a New
Never , Starkly Alone, I Face This Bridge I’m Forced to Cross
I Take no Solace Knowing Billions
Have and Will Be Familiar with This Loss
See, My Mom is Gone
I Was Not Prepared
I Never Imagined the Sharpness of This Grief.
Denial, Anger, Bargain,
Depressed
Imprisoned in the Maze of Disbelief
Raised on Her Wisdom, I Must Trust Her Love. I Must Trust These Tears Will Turn to Smiles,
and That My Memories Turn to Blessings, After a Little While
Her Strength is in Me, Her Mighty Spirit My Inheritance
Her Guidance Leads My Jumbled Journey
My Acceptance Her Deliverance

The oxymoron drew me in initially and the your words touched me. Check out my writing ‘Rage’ (if you’re so inclined). Same subject matter, maybe an element of what you feel.
This demonstrates how much you loved and respected her. Also shows you drawing strength from her.
It’s what we do. Thanks for the read. I look forward to your future offerings.
