Grief

Mourning is not a condition

But a progression

From contentment

To depression.



It is not a state of mind

But the procession

Where happiness

Marches away from us.


Author's Notes/Comments: 

Inspired by this quote from C.S. Lewis’ “A Grief Observed”: Sorrow, however, turns out to be not a state but a process. Grief is like a winding valley where any bend may reveal a totally new landscape.
