Greif has Clawed at my insides for many years now Greif like a river I could choose to tear at the shoreline as the current dragged me Or I could surrender into unknown currents Allow it to take me And so I fell in And it brought me on quite the journey I was broken open I let go of who I was And I grieved who I was before And I grieved Like a river song Which needed to journey With no inhibitions No ego games No fear for being Raw I feel that greif will always be with me An old friend waiting silently at the gate I've learned It has just been a journey of love all along love and greif Are of the same source They are of the same river To greive is to love To love is to grieve A deep bow to those Who have allowed greif and love to etch itself into you, to dance Through you Reminding me at a time when I needed it that I am allowed to be That I am safe to surrender.
