Loss

Leaves the winners of the world

Staring deep into the abyss

Wondering where it all went wrong.

---

Grief

Waits in the wings of your subconscious

A curtain call captivating your entire being

A soliloquy your soul will never forget.

---

Hope

Is the flicker on the horizon

Of a sunrise which will warm your bones

After a night spent in the icy depths of despair.

---

Time

Will never fully heal your wounds of anguish

But will give you enough scars

For you to remember the bittersweet nature of life…

---

…that life is precious and a gift. A gift we should unwrap with care.

That a myriad of emotive experiences; pain and heartache intertwined with joy and love, are in fact, life itself.
