My daughter Elouise’s birthday is coming up on Saturday. With this impending birth-date, my heart grieves silently. i curl myself into a tiny ball at home and I weep for what could have been. God’s peace will transcend. I trust in the Lord to get me through.
Waves hurtling against cliffs hard backbone
as grief sinks deep into the creases of dark sinking sand
My feet swiftly disappear underneath
the quilts of silky ice powder,
into the waiting black
~~~~~
Tears uncoiling from under eye’s lip
as memories unfold with
the sounds of the crashing waves going
thumpy thump thumpy thump thump
~~~~~
Water swells around my grieving heart
and floods out as eagles soar high
above the heavens; my eyes searching
for the cross
I fall into the brown, smooth sand
looking upwards towards the endless blue
where the Maker sits and says
‘Come to me Child, unburden your grief,
I am here with you. Peace will come
Peace will come’
~~~~~
Grief sits silently on cliffs shoulder
until next crashing wave comes
in a loud fashion, waiting, cruising
for its next moment of complete despair
within a broken heart of a grieving mama
~~~~~
Skywards I look, as the messengers
of the sky guide my being
towards the foot of the cross,
and I sit silently in His
everlasting presence.
waiting to hear His soft voice,
in the endless seams of sand
and waves crashing, crashing,
crashing against cliffs
~~~~~
The wind blows and God’s
Love engulves me into his
Loving embrace and
I gaze up and feel
At peace once more
