Damn those waves,
How grief arrives, Choking on tears Arising through my throat, How we process... How I process, Unpacking my broken heart Of losing my dad... We, dad and I, Together now, I feel time displaced itself While we were so far away And now, now.... Damn those waves, How grief arrives, While happiness is stumbling to be found, Felt, present... Right when I think I can climb out of this rut, Remembering you, pulls me back in... (I love you Dad.) Melissa Palmer of Evolving Mirror

Waited over a year,
To be with you, Though your life was lived, Your ashy remains Arrived today, Ripping the postal box open, To retrieve you, Was, the hardest part of my day, Since receiving the phone call, 1-22-21.... Uncovering the pine box urn, I trembled, crying 😭😭, To get to you... Now the tears just won't stop, I am taking you everywhere I go through my house, by my hand, like I've done when you were alive... Come and see Daddy, 9/8/2022 I finally have you, all to myself, All by myself.... Melissa Palmer of Evolving Mirror |
