A Memorable Loss!

 


A Memorable Loss…

My dear fellow passengers of life,

How do you cope with grief and loss?

Of people & pets that you have lost to time.

Moments of joy and innocent contentment,

Emotions aplenty, both expressed and repressed,

That presently threaten to never again return.

The warmth and coziness of love and kindness;

The kiss of care and the cuddle of concern;

The smile of assurance and the tears of compassion;

Things that were once so readily available,

Those that we consumed, taking them all for granted,

With not a thought nor concern for their rarity;

Now a mere wisp of memory from a very distant past.

A dissipating wave in the puddle of the mind!

Often making us doubt, if at all they had been real;

Or just a figment of our ever-faltering imagination.
