Too Much to Let Go of …. #grief #poetry #photography

moondustwriterAugust 2, 2014August 1, 2014Homecloud, death of a loved one, grief, moondustwriter, Poetry, prayer, tears

sun behind clouds

runs through my fingertips

furrows formed by tears

so much run-off in my heart

though preparing these many years

how can one prepare

for a loved one’s life to pass?

one my knees I’ve daily prayed

memories to hold me fast

to the pier of grief I’m moored

against me the waves crash

bulwark waterlogged

to hope my sinews lashed

“steer straight” I hear the call

a lighthouse is ahead

drift not into death’s shoals

peer through the cloud of dread

Thank you for visiting Moondustwriter. One of the many exciting things I've had the honor of doing is writing with an E. African team that is developing elementary curriculum for African children. As a writer, it is a thrill to help children (on all continents) who want to learn. I've been part of the blogging community for more than 10 years. Some old timers may remember the award winning (2011 Twitter Shorty ) blog community - One Stop Poetry. I was the co-producer of that fast growing blog community. I am a published writer, poet, artist and photographer. I have written, as well as edited, for periodicals, radio, blogs and fellow writers. There are many facets to this moon - thanks for stopping by. View more posts

The walk through grief is a long one but the Lighthouse keeps us safe throughout the journey. I am thankful for Him.
