Grief ~ Knowing Many More Will Leave

Grief

We travel to places

It wears on our faces –

What people are afraid

To talk about.

The darker shade,

The deepest holes –

We contemplate,

& Magnify our souls.

We all have to grieve,

For many more will leave.

We are set to touch upon,

Living, dying, & beyond

Still – We simply carry on.
