EMOTIONS

By Grace Bizzarro

 

Before the sorrow comes the anger.

The raw red nerves, the urge to fight.

You rail against your God and wonder

if heaven exists.  

You curse your plight.

 

You blame him for leaving.

For all the confusion.

You’re out of control now.S

A bird lost in flight.

 

In time the compassion of

mourners will comfort you

You pray in contrition.

and cry through the night.
