When Everything Glows but Me

Teddy.15

 

I can't believe I'm sitting

writing yet another poetry installment 

about my utter feelings of loss

I'm completely in the dark 

the dark within myself 

I don't know how to crack open my shell

I don't know if I will ever really find myself?

this time it's different 

It's not about the grief I hold for others 

 

this grief is for me 

and I don't know...

If I will ever see the light?

    Stop digging down. If you won't brew and sip a heartening cuppa tea, then pull an espresso or brew a cup from your moka pot. It's easier than you realize. You will find yourself when you stop looking. Look up. Listen. It's all around you.
    I love this beautiful tribute to dredging the depths of one's soul in search for what is either not there or else remains invisible until the candle splashes light on it. I love the aching poignancy and details. Thank you very much for sharing.

        Lost in yourself dear Teddy. In the depths of soul searching. When you get that far down, the only way is up. Keep searching for the light. Beautiful poetry dear poet. 🌹

                To find anything in the dark is difficult. If you are lucky enough to step on it or trip over it you may but otherwise you need light,. I hope you crack that shell and find the light.

                  The light you seek is within your own heart Teddy. Healing is never easy and fast. We heal in the knowing that those that have gone will always be remembered in our hearts. It's their light we see that heals us. 🌹
