Colours of bereavement
A quiet moment to ponder
To think things through and see
The kaleidoscope of life
Is bearing down on me
The colours that were first seen
After that dreadful day
Were all so foreboding
Like dark blacks and grey.
A shaft of light has started
To peep through stormy skies
Black begins to turn to blues
That`s what happens when someone dies.
As despair starts to slip away
The colours change again
Greens and reds begin to show
Does this also happen to men?
Anniversaries come and go
The light is getting stronger
Colours twist and change again
More brighter tones stay longer
Oranges and pinks now show
A smile upon my face
Whites and creams are appearing next
And a spring is in my step
If you could see me now, my love
You`d see a different person
Bright colours all around me now
As I know that I can carry on.
Written a few years after the loss of my husband from cancer,

Beautifully written Lissie, you can always tell when you read something when emotion is truly felt and this is so deeply heartfelt. What a lovely way to convey all the emotions you go through in grief. A wonderful title and really great content. Very well written. A nomination that was well deserved. A big vote from me too:)
