DIVE

Make way into the loss

of what has been and gone

of what was and now isn’t.

Chapter’s written next

to the seams of life hemmed

to the short and long of

a story given

When In is the only way out

In the dive deep in this

sea of emotions that could

pull a drown down on a

single inhale.

Of stories told of a life

well lived and sometimes not

It’s the ‘not’ that captures

the interest of the observer.

For the griever, none of that

makes a difference.

The whole is the sum of

all those damn parts and

what was or what wasn’t

takes no account to the

chapter’s written of a life

lived and the love of that

life when loss takes it

all away.
