No time to prepare <br />Shoved over cliff by sorrows <br />Float down now, gently <br /> <br />Grief comes as strong waves <br />Tide that never seems to ebb <br />Let it wash your soul <br /> <br />Nasty Opponent <br />Grief punches all breath away <br />Never a fair fight <br /> <br />No time for Heroes <br />Pain strips away a brave face <br />Wear no mask for now <br /> <br />Heavy stones of grief <br />Lighten them with memories <br />Friendships ease the load <br /> <br />Recipe for grief <br />Fold laughter into sorrow <br />Make a grief soufflé <br /> <br />Someone, unseen, cares <br />Patting shoulder from afar <br />Dwell in gentle thoughts <br /> <br />Some point you forward <br />Others put words in your mouth <br />Follow your own voice <br /> <br />Walking in grief's field <br />Plant dark flowers in the ground <br />Teardrops are the rains <br /> <br />Morning light is harsh <br />Wander away from sadness <br />Dreams infuse the night<br /><br />Mary Havran<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/small-mourning-pieces/
