Crushing sense of loss
Alters my inner landscape
You left, just because...

Disturbance within
When does grief ever make sense?
Where there once was love

Standard issue grief
We all carry our own wounds
Living with a limp

Inconvenient
The unwelcome truth of grief
Random and searing

One more bitter pill
Endless days without your wisdom
Your last choice...really?

Fortunate to still have my dad...today my thoughts are with my late friend Steve's young children.
Paternal figure
Your love could fill the whole room
World seems empty now

Four letter thinking
The shadow of sudden loss
Lingering like smoke

Down at soul level
The bittersweet depth of grief
Love becomes an ache

Extinction of self
Leaves a hole shaped like you
Nobody can fill.

Ordinary days
Feel like centuries in grief
Onward now, needs must
#suicideloss #micropoetry #MastoPrompt #haiku #grief
Time passes slowly
Understanding dawns bit by bit
Questions multiply
#suicideloss #micropoetry #haiku #grief
Respite is so brief
A semi permanent state
Such is life in grief.
#suicideloss #micropoetry #haiku #grief #dailyhaikuprompt
The thread is broken
In the wake of his absence
Sacred truth shatters.

Spiritual guide
Now dust in the Universe
Admiration? Pain.

"Deliver us, Lord..."
On my tongue, forgiveness melts
Burning grief persists
#suicideloss #micropoetry #MastoPrompt #haiku #grief
Tears collect, unshed
Beneath the questions, grief lies
No easy answers.

'Just on holiday'
Comfort blanket for the mind
The truth is brutal.
#suicideloss #micropoetry #haiku #grief #MastoPrompt
Understanding drips
Piecemeal is better for now
All at once would hurt.

If he was still here, my friend Steve Austin would be 40 today. In honour of his birthday, I am releasing my #poem
