Grief rocks our world.
The universe aches
My heart does, too—
All the pain I cannot mend,
The wounds I cannot heal.
Across the world, tears flow
I cannot stop,
My empathy has no end.
And yet—
I can be grateful, still.
My arms reach out
and connect with peace—
Your skin, sweet warmth of hope,
your kisses whisper tribute.
We love, and as we do
my heartbeat echoes
three words of gratitude:
I am alive.
I am alive.
We are alive.
