Unimaginable

Beautifully heart wrenching.  
But beautiful all the same  
To have that person in your life is enviable and to lose them is indescribable. What a lovely send off though.

I agree... that's why a good senryú or haiku always impresses me deeply and why I seem so incredibly drawn to them! ....I am totally hooked by their gravitas and I constantly push myself to practice the form, hopefully learning how to infuse the kind of emotion within those 17 syllables that makes for a potent and crushingly memorable read.

Thanks for feeling the heft and understanding the gravity, here. This is the kind of grief that sticks with you for a lifetime so I had concerns that it would be hard to convey.... I'm glad you felt it as I hoped.  

Much obliged, Tim
I appreciate your meaningful sentiments  
and you taking the time to share them

Two poems for the price of one: Bargain.

Both worthy of a sympathy card.  Sorry for your loss. You describe him as a true compadre and more!

I appreciate your lovely heartfelt sympathies, Leo  
 
Yes, the image was mine, too... from a visual poetry comp here a while ago for " a life-changing moment" I really felt this finished piece evoked an emotional space occupy very well and was honored to use it again to convey my continued carrying on of that space that really never leaves; only changes, becoming a part of you....  
 
It was a loss from years ago, yet some days it can feel like it was only yesterday (even all these years later) .... grief is a fickle beast, for sure.  
 
Thanks for stopping by and for leaving me your thoughts... I think grief might be hard for people to comment on(which I completely understand) , so I'm especially grateful to have you visit.  
 
Much love and gratitude, my dear

Death is a tearful thing.  We have to live life to fullest because shit happens.  Keep on writing you strong beautiful smart sexy woman.

Thanks , Francisco

I appreciate your comments

Dear BV,

Gut wrenching. Stunning but gut wrenching. I had to catch my breath before writing. And I’ve told you before I don’t wear water proof mascara! Grief is such a cyclical emotion. No sooner do you think you’ve moved a bit forward it creeps right back in there. It’s a beautiful poem. H🌷

Thank you for reading and feeling the heft of emotion... yep, it's like The Godfather just when you think you're out, it pulls you right back in!


Your thoughts are cherished and truly coveted, my dear.

Much love and deep appreciation,
🌹💙

I think you just get used to living with it....and without it.

I have lost almost everyone....but the thought of my having lost my brother simply never subsides. Ever

I relate and truly empathize, RT.

Thanks for the visit and for sharing your deep truth with me, it meant a lot

Thank you very much for your visit and extremely kind words.

No one escape grief. A loved one dying is past of life.
Well expressed.

Thanks, bk
Agreed, death is inevitable... just wish my nephew had longer than 19 months before it made it's claim.... It's incredibly hard to reconcile.

Always a pleasure to see you 🦋
I really appreciate it

The poem in the image and your short remembrance left me deep in feeling for your loss and memories. Your memorial poems are exactly how I'd like to be remembered when I depart. The mystical tone gives your lost loved one a legendary aura that brings me into your world so that I too can see this person. There is true grief here but also joy in having known this person. I felt this in my heart and soul.

You're the best of us, John.

I can't imagine any one else understanding the nuanced emotion working between the lines....

My good fortune of your stalwart kindness has me making it through today without feeling as heavy, which doesn't sound like much but trust me—it is.
Being free and a bit lighter, is pure joy.


Thank you, my dear poet

Susan, 19 months is an incomprehensible time to pass on.  I lost a nephew who was 16 years old. He went through health issues that were unbelievable. He played the violin and knew Chinese. He and I were close. He dreamed of living with me and going to college here. It is incomprehensible that he left this earth on the threshold of a fulfilling life. Thank you my friend for sharing your loss. I am so incredibly sorry.

John

it's the worst experience I think anyone can go through, John. I would have and still wish I could have traded places.... I wouldn't have hesitated.. not for one second. Even now, I feel the same.  

It's trying to process that unfairness, that I believe is so unimaginably difficult, so much so that it stays with .... becomes part of you  

I struggle to properly communicate these particular thoughts, so apologies for the delay in responding and my possible rambling.

I adore your heart and I'm so sorry you lost what sounds like a wonderfully amazing person and cherished nephew, as well. Any life cut too short, is deeply incomprehensible.... all my love and healing hugs , dear soul.

Excellent work Blue, you can capture so much with brevity in this style of poetry.

Thanks so much Walter.
