This wasn't the train. It scooped you up to a different destination. Birds of splendor followed along Out the window Winding in your path of grief. Be ready for the station waiting To greet your sorrow. The platform is not clear. The mist hides the light then becomes a flow of water you can reach and touch. Become aware of the grief but don't move towards it. See it instead in the palm of your hand. Dip into the water cupped in your hands to cleanse your sorrow. You will have times of freedom. Embrace all feelings. Let them fall into the stream of water. You will lighten. You will see more color as the mist dissappears. You will see the light between the leaves of the trees. The sounds of song birds lifting you up with messages for you alone.

The Grief Train
This wasn't the train. It scooped you up to a different destination. Birds of splendor followed along Out the window Winding in your path of grief. Be ready for the station waiting To greet your sorrow. The platform is not clear. The mist hides the light then becomes a flow of water you can reach and touch. Become aware of the grief but don't move towards it. See it instead in the palm of your hand. Dip into the water cupped in your hands to cleanse your sorrow. You will have times of freedom. Embrace all feelings. Let them fall into the stream of water. You will lighten. You will see more color as the mist dissappears. You will see the light between the leaves of the trees. The sounds of song birds lifting you up with messages for you alone.
