From Here

Where do I go from here?
Loss does not fit some arbitrary framework
Assigned by society at large or social norms
Loss is not only about death, or something gone astray
Whatever form it takes, there is a weight
It sits upon your chest, a drunkard with heft
Refusing to move from a spot he's found comfortable
I just want to be free of it
To reach the weightlessness
That comes from freeing yourself
Letting the loss go and moving on
Yet, as it piles, loss upon loss
Where do I go from here?

Heart Break

How long does a heart break?
Lightning fast? 
Race car quick? 
Or geologically slow? 
Is there even an answer?
Does it just flow on?
Until one day, healed.

Seasons

Though it may be spring
On the verge of summer
Warmth and sun and wave
Blossoming with the flora
I am in a season of winter
The death before the rebirth
Beyond fall's color and flame
Working towards my own
Resurrection and blooming
