Grief
Grief is a thief,
stealing joy, creativity, life.
Grief is a trickster,
lying in wait,
everchanging and evolving,
Grief is a rollercoaster,
ascending to the heights of memory
and diving to the depths of despair.
Grief is a blanket,
covering all with its darkness;
creating protection
from the world of the living.
Grief is required,
a reminder of the depths of love,
the beauty of friendship,
the sanctity of life.
