Grief
Joe Strickland 1986 (Hobbysville, SC)
Thunder rumbles loud,
Electric charge fills the air,
Startled, we jump up.
Turbulent feelings
Boldly faced with steady mind
Emotions made calm
Heavy clouds above,
Lead to a heart filled with gloom,
Loneliness consumes.
Heavy heart, shallow breaths
Tears fall like rain, body aches
Grief consumes, stays close.
Heart races quickly,
Breath shallow, mind in chaos,
Panic overwhelms.
Heavy heart burdened,
Guilt consumed, can't be shaken,
The weight of regret.
Fiery rage within
An ember of fury burns
Control lost to wrath
Standing steadfast strong
Against forces that oppose
Resistance endures
Blossoming like spring,
Hope fills our hearts with new life,
Promising a chance.
Embrace all that is
Unfold, let go of fear's grip
Find peace in your heart
