Carve the edges off your haunting pain
With time as sharp as a knife
the moments slide by in an agonizing grind
You’ll have this moment for the rest of your life
My feet sunk deep in a cement grip of permanence
a ball and chain of grief connects my soul to the earth
My bones and skin just vehicle remnants
My soul will have rebirth

You write so well though my dear friend. Please keep on making us think, laugh, cry (sometimes), love and be scared in equal measure. You do it so well and so often xoxo

You do have a way with words, don’t you? Consider, “cement grip of permanence” and “ball and chain of grief” – the symbolism, the metaphors! Aaah! (An outburst of appreciation!)
