The Widow's Song
Grief
Lies like a heavy blanket
Woven from pain,
Smothering the sleeper.
Lies like a heavy blanket
Woven from pain,
Smothering the sleeper.
Wan sunlight
Bleaching out colors
Leaving in its wake
A faded sepia world.
Every gift
Comes with needling loss,
Every joy
Delineated by sorrow.
Each day like the last,
Like the next
A painful awakening
To a world unchanged.

So well done!
Very lovely!!!!!!!!
Puts everything in perspectives so neatly, you do!
You described it so well, even though I wasn't a widow I was divorced and they feel the same, well divorce I have heard from someone who suffered both was actually worse. there is a certain dignity with death, and a sense of failure and seeing the other one going on living without you is a particular kind of hell. great poem
