Sign

Teddy.15

 

A tsunami of profound grief 
coming straight towards me 
yet still...
it's not entirely in sight
I wait 
I wait, with numbness 
I wait with guilt 
I wait with anger 
and I also wait with hope 
that it's over soon
which brings more guilt to my table of digestive nibbles and distaste 
I shan't forget in a hurry 
I promise you this
this one moment
that once again will change me 
changing my life 
my course 
my road...

If the signs are kind 
I may one day find my way
once more.

      Thank you Dear Andy. Grief has a strange take on what we think or want, time will tell. 🌹

      Teddy this poem reflects deep internal emotion. There is a sense of conflict in the waiting and the wishing that it would hurry up. Once it’s poised waiting for a disaster that seems inevitable that has not yet occurred. A very emotive piece

      • Teddy.15

            The weight of waiting seeps from every line—gritty, patient, and real.
            There’s tenderness in the ache, a quiet hope fighting the tide.

            • Teddy.15

              Yes indeed, we are still waiting, once it's over that's when the tsunami will hit, like every time before, thank you so much dear Thomas for seeing deep within the line. 🌹

              Dearest Teddy, this really lands…that waiting, especially with all those emotions sitting together at once, and the way it hasn’t fully come into view yet. That line about the table of distaste stays with me. There’s something deeply honest here. Powerful write and another great inclusion in your Raven Collection, my friend. 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦‍⬛
