Grieving

Archeology of Understanding

Folder: 
2024

In the quiet aftermath, the word "quit" echoes,  

A heavy silence in the corridors of memory.  

A single word, a door to myriad pathways,  

Each avenue intertwining, meandering through the fog.

 

Clues lie hidden in the shadows cast by our verses,  

Fleeting glimpses of understanding,  

Yet certainty eludes us, at every turn it seems:

Answers remain just out of reach.

 

We, the ones left behind, grasp at fragments,  

Picking up the pieces, mending the void,  

Trying to fill the space they once occupied,  

Wrestling with the darkness they left

 

Is it a black hole we flee from, or one we warp through?  

In this spiral of grief and questioning,  

The future holds for us its secrets

Only time will reveal if we will find clarity or remain lost.

 

In these moments, we must carry on,  

Walking paths both light and shadowed,  

Seeking meaning in the echoes,  

Finding strength in the act of continuing.

 

The pursuit of happiness, a delicate balance,  

Not a guarantee but a quest,  

In the face of despair, we persevere,  

For in the journey, we find our strength.

Einen Augenblick bitte!

Author's Notes/Comments: 

After my near death experience in the form of a MVA I had, what I thought was a moment of clarity regarding my purpose in life. 

However after recently losing one of my precious fur children and support animal(s) I have spiralled downwards into a pit of grief and loss. 

Who Am I?

Author's Notes/Comments: 

An old class assignment I digged up.

It was supposed to be more simple and straightforward.

But I remember, I couldn't help myself from twisting it up

 

Which results with this

 

Dear Santa

Author's Notes/Comments: 

A Christmas wish letter to Santa, to please, give me more time with my baby sister.

Its not finished...

And although I know this is a crazy, irrational wish... I want it to come true soooo bad!!!

 

Please let me know what you think!
