Death

With death comes sobriety, grief, freedom and pain
Emotions and experiences become more than one can or knows how to endure
Darkness sets, the fog descends
Life is changed
Reality shifts
Perspectives tainted, altered or destroyed
Where lies the hope?
Day by day one learns to survive, cope and maybe even heal from the wreckage
Just when you hit your stride anger frustration and hurt set in
You breathe
The roller coaster is not over but has only begun
Days become lighter the fog lifts
One, it only takes one
That one day becomes many
But the pain is not over, the memories do not end
Life just goes on
And healing begins
With death comes life, reality and perspective
