Diamonds






As we lay
-close as unassembled puzzle pieces lumped into a box
paper thin breath hangs between our lips
his tears come as perfect diamonds
collecting at lower lash and tumbling down cheeks
these diamonds communicate as our gift for words has failed
a glacier melts and pulls away from it's shore
we are sailing into blue, cold, open, endless possibilities
from the warm sun of where we thought we would be making our nest
strength to strength
a perfect circle of energy
from me to him
from him to me
I see in those most beautiful eyes
and feel with each touch of his steady hands
we can do this
as one

private grief

hard to explain

so I don't speak

I grieve in private

I take deep breaths

hold it in

let it out

late at night

alone

patience

seams are splitting
faster than I can mend
no time for sorrow today
no time

perhaps I stepped forward
onto thin air

perhaps I am not strong
simply weathered
touched by grief

perhaps I am just a girl
enslaved

wanting old habits
wanting to run away

perhaps we are all running
if we could only just hold on
hold until storms pass

patience in pain
