that Grief comes
in Waves
and those Words
contain expansive Oceans
of Wisdom...
so why then
do i try
to control
how and when
those Waves fly
and fall
instead of going
with the ebbs
and flows
of Tidal runs
(like the Dancing
of Doubting
and Believing always
knows and shows
the Way)
and simply receiving
what the Ocean
naturally provides
(remembering my youth
where i met
The Waves
with both fears
and fascinating Joy
deep yearning
and emancipating Hope
learning the Rhythms
and reading
the turbulent Tides
to know when
to dive
under Their thunder
just to survive
Their power
and when They
were engendering more
exhilarating Rides
and my irrational
yet understandable fears
once submerged
then emerged (one
could say Surf-aced)
and converged
with my tears
in an Embrace
of Salty
and Sacred Grace
by the Face
of Love)?
so why not
allow the Waves
of Grief
to crash on
the sandy Shores
of Loss
or ruddy Rocks
covered with regrets
like moss
yet also filled
with hidden Life
beneath strife
serving as solid
places to rest
or stand
for seagulls and
egrets waiting to
take Flight
and safe spaces
to express that
neverending Love
without pretending and
sending It out
knowing It
has nowhere and
no place left
to go?
so while We
are groping through
the mist
of the Memories
and Hoping in
the midst
of the pain
of the losing
of Beloveds
as We surrender
to the thunder
in Wonder
and listen to
the Wisdom of
The Waves
in the Ocean
of Majestic Motion
in Love
may We always
remember there is
no need
to give Ourselves
some kind of
guilty shove
into the Tide
and there is
no shame
in our choosing
when to refrain
or Ride
and as We
let the tears
and fears
of endless years
more Naturally and
Supernaturally Flow
They will Show
Us the Way
to Go...
