Grief — A Metamorphosis
A patient process as a new butterfly is forming

~ Widowed ~
Grief is a huge transition
the loss of all familiar patterns
in one’s life — the universe has shifted
you feel oddly out of place without your love
for half of you is missing, one shoe has fallen off
Grief is also metamorphosis
a long slow patient process while
the butterfly is forming — while seeds of
life are sprouting preparing buds to flower
watch notice trust — new life will form in you
Trust the seed within a tragedy
buried in unexpected change that
devastates and lays you low — please
know this, deep sparks will quietly emerge
first unseen, their glow will one day blossom in
New Life
