Grief

Grief in me
Will shatter the sky
I seek solace lying in bed
None comes
It's going to be another sleepless night 
My grief at my loss 
Hasn't affected my vital signs
Just left me hollow
As if the stone I'm crawling under 
Will never be lifted off my shoulders 
And like Atlas, I carry this burden with me 
Yet I am optimistic
Standing on a roof 
Looking down at a kitchen garden
It came to me like a blinding flash of light
That I am not done living 
And so I stepped back
As for the grief 
One day it will go
As time goes by

The Bilge Master
