A Griever's Journey

"While my heart beats and pumps my life blood, another part of it is still. The part of it that used to love. Chambers of only darkness and sadness,where lies only dusty prints of memories of the ones I love. Don't tell me not to weep or they are in a better place, for it is not for them I weep, but for myself. Let me be, I must walk down into the very pits of sorrow, and wail and mourn. I am the one who has been left here alone. It is my pain, my sorrow, my loneliness. It is my sad journey. When it is time, I will come back. I will lift my face to the sun, and Great Spirit will know my battle has been won. He will give my heart new chambers to fill with new loves, yet never trying to replace what was, but making better what is to come. On the old dark, dusty chambers a door will close, but through a window their memories will forever glow."
Dorothy - Whitehawk (c)1995 From the Comfort Zone online library
