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.
