"Naked."
It’s true.
Naked we come, barely clothed we return,
Still, that doesn’t justify why we are stripped of the ones whose names are engraved in the innermost parts of our souls.
Why are we born?
Why are we lost by the ones we love and cherish.
How do I know when I draw my very last breath and not the first?
Why does death ever show up?
Why doesn’t he remain behind the scenes and only watch as we the actors demonstrate so skillfully on the stage of life?
How does one nurse a grieving heart?
How does one even take back the time?
Save for memories and surreal dreams where do I find the ones who have come and gone?
It’s like they were never here
Save for the pain in my heart and the pictures hanging on my wall there is no evidence.
Grief.
Please let me alone,
Turn off the light,
And fade away,
Walk down the aisle,
Don’t ever sway,
Don’t lurk in the corridor,
Just shut the door and don’t open anymore
As you dissipate.
My tears have become my meat.
They say time heals all injuries,
I’ll give the time some time;
But even time is behind time,
As she’s lagging way behind in punctuality.
Was she always this tardy?
To the ones who have come and gone, to everyone who has lost a special someone,
To death, to fate,
To distance or an empty space,
To misunderstandings and disappearing...
I’m not here to give you hope,
But to let you know,
You are not alone.
The pain, the aches, the sleepless nights and despair…
It’s something we share.
So while we have you and I
Let’s make the most of what we have.
Let’s dance in the rain, play fun games, visit the best places and appreciate the faces popping up in places we meet them,
In offices, in courtrooms, weddings and birthday parties,
In schools, churches, amusement parks.
Cause someday, like starlight, they’ll fade away.
