For Loss
Why do you grieve?
I feel a sadness,
it pulls so strong
as an angler's hook
buried deep within the heart.
Why do you grieve
my friend?
Where have you been
and is it pain alone
that keeps its company in you?
I need not ask,
for I feel it too.
In grief and heartbreak
the tether remains
as in love - a connection
Write, my dear friend;
for in your words,
your truth, your heart
your sense so clear
your self, cautiously shared.
And I?
I shall feel,
once again
hope to know
to touch the magic
in your words.
Your words
have never been
of singular dimension
and yet
it is ever a pleasing surprise
to find you there
where I often hide
amongst the words
and between the lines.
And suffer no more
for loss...
