3 Stages Of Grief Poem by Bridgid Patrick
3 Stages Of Grief
The Torment
Sorrow swalowed me into the cruel black sea,
The icy cold water washed over me,
Memories spin around in my mind,
Causing dark lucid dreams of every kind.
Grief and misery played their part,
Leaving behind a broken heart
The Healing
Slowly the water ebbed away,
The blackness mellowed to a shade of grey,
Time as the healer showed the way,
Helping me to cope day by day,
Fear subsiding, confidence riegns,
Ready to face the world again
The Future
The waters now are calm and clear,
My life again is full of cheer,
Smiles return and with them light,
The grey is replaced by colours so bright,
Though life was cruel, when it took you away,
I look to the future as a brand new day
Thank you for expressing these stages so well. At the time, the future seems impossible, the present 'torment' being so painful... Having lost three important people in my life, I appreciate this poem so much. Thank you!
This shows that you are quite capable of different styles and your feel of meter is spot on. Spelling error 'reign' Best H
Most of us can say been there, seen it, done it, but in verse you have captured those feelings so well and shown another side of your charactor as an up and coming poet, well done. Regards Graham.
An excellent rendition of the emotions we go through. Good rhyme and pace too. Particularly related to the first stanza and re lived those feelings that I had when I lost my dad. Nice work Gyp's
