COMFORT IN GRIEF- SRUTHY MANOJ

In grief there is comfort

A sweet sadness

Enclosing me in a tight embrace

A momentary moment where I can let go

And feel me freely

Consoling me,

It whispers in my ears

Accept the unacceptable reality

The world is harsh

Find the love buried behind that pain

In the rain there is rhythm

A melody sharing my melancholy

Imparting a sense of belonging

In the darkness there is peace

Both temporary yet forever remaining

In grief there is comfort

Remnants of lost loves

Promising me the world

that once used to be mine

Giving me the closure that no one gave
