outside
inside
A winter's night
snow falling, a gentle touch
building four inch thick blankets
upon the iced maple tree trunks.
Inside, warm and the colors
of my treasured life stand out
against the gray white.
Today I do not hear
the birds' stories
there is no wind ravaging
no traffic, nor sirens,
not even a plow in several hours.
Just a coating of silence
placed down on a chilly ground.
I spent sometime reading through other blogs today.
It’s figuring out how to move on, how to cope with the grief but not allow it to consume you, or make you bitter. It’s about a rawness that only mothers who have relinquished can understand. It’s about a certain kind of death, but almost worse. It’s about sometimes being okay and other times, not being so good.
