This poem was written when I lost a friend to cancer many years ago. I struggled with my emotions at that time. Strangely the friend was not someone I would say was one of my closest friends. Still the weight of death and loss sat heavily on me for a long time. I just pulled this poem out of a collection of poems that have never seen the light until now.
In the ocean of emotions,
like a boat caught up in a vortex,
going through the motions,
of living life, torn.
It takes a deep wave,
of determination,
to shake out of the grave,
of dark listlessness.
The benumbed,
befuddled brain,
wanders clueless,
between the past and the present.
without rest!
There is a life,
waiting out there,
waiting to be unraveled,
crying out for attention,
blow over grief.
Oh let it cease!
heart be at ease!
at ease!

I lost to my little and only sister to cancer. I didn’t know you were writing poetry. I like it.
It is devastating to lose someone close to you, so sorry for your loss. I have been posting poetry here once week. Thank you.
That is a wonderful poem very emotional. It will be coming on to 3 years that I lost my soul mate and I am still grieving.
I am sorry for your loss, some losses are hard to come to terms with.
I know all too well the grief of losing someone. Beautiful poem.
Thank you Carol, sometimes we find some relief from such expressions of our grief.
Beautiful song. My mom died of cancer.
I am sorry for your loss Vidocka. Moms are irreplaceable.
