Locked In.
Let go sad mem'ry
wherein grow
high weeds which,
entangled by
pastness can harm
fine intention
and never breed
freedom.
Locked into virus
no mourner
hopes to by-pass
deep grief
nor has strength
to fight
for right choices
of course.
But worth all the
effort to
seek mind-maps
which can
recall laughter or
good times
of togetherness
is found
in the aftermath
while all
anyone needs is
to re-live
the love specially
locked into
memory as that
feeling it
gave might refill
again joy
in a heart's visit
of faith to
long gone scenes
back then.
So allow unhappy
memory to
stay outside the
arena and
discover weedfree
strata to
feed on while living
the past for
this a heart needs.

As is this write a treasure Fay. Beautiful.
Thank you for a wonderful tribute to the Memory of your Loved One. We all shed tears FAY at the homecall of a Loved One ~ BUT ~ We do not sorrow like those who have no hope in Eternal Life and a reunion in Glory ! Also a Beautiful Lady (like you !) has no regrets ~ only Precious Memories. Every blessing at this Special Time of Year ~ We all love you ! Yours BRIAN XOX (Hugs and Mistletoe Kisses !)
Some former years I had a blind panic. had to hide that mistletoe from the manageress, or else I would never have recovered! Would have been a hideous fright! heehee (not really heehee, it's true! arrgh!).
Great advice ... not easy to follow, as you know. Well penned as usual, Fay!
Good write Fay.
