To love life

when you have no stomach for it
and everything you’ve held dear
crumbles like burnt paper in your hands,
your throat filled with the silt of it.
When grief sits with you, its tropical heat
thickening the air, heavy as water
more fit for gills than lungs;
when grief weights you like your own flesh
only more of it, an obesity of grief,
you think, How can a body withstand this?
Then you hold life like a face
between your palms, a plain face,
no charming smile, no violet eyes,
and you say, yes, I will take you
I will love you, again.
Notes:
Smile and be well today.

If it would stop snowing here everything would be pretty cool. 🙂
Reblogged this on Let My People Go…Running.
When we are brave enough to face the full spectrum of our emotions, the joy and pain alike, we come closer to overcoming the suffering that haunts us.
Very powerful thought for us to consider, brilliant! Take care today and be sure to have a great weekend!
