A Grief Ago Poem by Javad O'Jaghi

A grief ago!
He was the man you'd know
Happy about the world and so

A life ago!
He had the one he loved, though
It was a long time ago

Him having the darkest joy
A gift from her, a boy

Made these endless days of dark
Shiny, but where to park
All the grief left for him
All the joy got from him

Not his friend, his strength
Through the days, full of length
Not to worry for he knew
She was looking down on this view

View of her love and son
Caring, loving, crying one
A man not feeling pain
Done with feeling, living pain

A grief ago!
Yes it was so
Not that he forgot it though

A life ago!
But he fought it though
Through his purest of pain, just let go

Breaking the dimness, the rising and the shining joy
All he had left, just his boy

Enough reason to be bold
Touching love not the cold
The coldest of the pain he had
The highest of the mount he had

Just to see the smiles bloom
Just to see the laughter lighten the room
Turned his sorrow into glee
From his sorrow, he was free

New era to begin
See her beauty and love in him
Blissful he was for this shift
Blissful for her lover's gift
