if we think about it
grief isn't far
from where we live
perhaps we don't
have to think about it
for grief is always there
deep in our hearts
buried in our souls
it's not hard to feel
such intense memories
where heart wrenching
trauma lived
and still lives
changing so many
true life stories
making us truly
ponder and wonder
thinking about
holy and glory
what is rationally
necessarily real
all our broken
holy and glory
all our grief
everything spoken
and unspoken
all those grievous things
we can conceive
this grief we know
what if healing
was truly something
we could believe
