A Circle Of Life And Death Poem by alex sarich

Grief grabs and grinds one down
it overwhelms and finds one is
in a different bubble which
doesn't burst even when one is happy.

It changes the moment suddenly
one floats through air releasing
emotions affecting mood swings
and blocking true feelings of grief.

A conflicted moment to happiness
which is not depression but grief
progression, nothing can change that
feeling as it slices through one's heart.

The endurance of pain will come again
but cleansing the soul of its residue
of one's sadness without ever escaping
but accepting will never change that emotion.

The healing can begin when maturity
has come about, although a black hole
will always remain, freedom to grieve
concludes hope and promise to heal.
