Inside out

From my Raven Collection (grief)

Inside out

In just one single moment
it was all taken away
everything I ever knew 
everything I ever took for granted about life 
It never crossed my mind 
but looking back now
I realize, I was young and naive 
nothing wrong with that 
all I know now, is this...
when we are put in that deep dark place 
we have to learn to fight the force 
clinging to every single
possible exit 
because even on our darkest days
the light can seep through the cracks
eventually, overcrowding
that, in which is dark
to be reborn, to be stronger on the inside 
and that will simply make everything shine 
Including who I am on the outside.

Amen to that dear poet sister!!....when we work
on who we truly are on the inside.....the outside
becomes more forgiving and grateful.....thus,
feelings such as grief and its ramifications become
much easier to resolve and understand....I love
your stuff SHIRLEY!!......ALL STARS!!.....well
penned my friend!!......LOVE & ROCKETS!!....T xo  : )
