It has been nine years
Words lose their taste
They no longer wait
behind closed doors
nor do they occupy space
Rivers run
lost over rocks that
do not become smooth
The immense blue sky hovers
behind rain that never falls
Yes you are in the valley of death
with your quiet bones
An insightful portrayal of the anguish, and hopelessness occasioned by loss of a child; well articulated and nicely penned from the heart. I hope you'll always find courage to bear the irreplaceable loss. Thanks for sharing.
