In the depths of grief, we find
A force that shapes the heart and mind
It can drive us to extremes untold
Leaving us in a world so cold
To escape the pain, we push away
Those who care, who want to stay
Isolation becomes our shield
To protect the wounds that never healed
Grief, a power both dark and bright
It can lead us to the darkest night
Or guide us to a place of peace
Where healing starts and pain may cease
When we let it out, it sets us free
To embrace the pain, to let it be
But when we hide behind a facade
Grief becomes a weight, a heavy rod
So let it flow, let it be expressed
For in its release, we can find rest
Grief, a force that tests our will
But in its embrace, we find strength still

An exquisite piece of reflection. Actually I needed to read this so thank you. 🌹
You are welcome! Hope everything is well with you and yours. Stay blessed.
Complex internal rhyme fills this deep psychological piece of grief and social isolation. Very nicely written Jenny and a fave
