impending grief

Grief

sits with us at the table

rides the bus with us 

snuggles up in bed

presses on our eyelids

shackles our feet

so we move 

as though underwater, .

wading towards 

the moment

we remove the tube

and wait.

---‐----‐--------

making sense 

of our days with her,

now without her.

-----

Focusing on the happiness of her end

The joyful union

of her soul with the great soul

towards the moment

we remove the tube

and wait

-----

Slowly pushing through 

The thoughts memories 

Making sense of our days with her

Now without her

Focusing on the happiness of her end

The joyful union

of her soul with the great soul

We watch 

her heart heave and fall 

for the last time

Pray let us be strong

Tomorrow 

Knowing its the last time we make an archanai for her in her name

I had a conversation with her yesterday 

Told her how often i think of her even if i don't call 

She is indeed a golden spirit

Humble kind loving

I want her blue saree as a thotil saree for my grandkids. 

She buys me the best sarees you know

I am going to miss her so

Slowly pushing through 

The thoughts memories 

Making sense of our days with her

Now without her

Focusing on the happiness of her end

The joyful union

of her soul with the great soul

So these thoughts lift us from the gloom

Towards the day we remove the tubes

 I think  we never.
