Grief

Gray skies, wispy clouds
   Deep ache, misery without expression
Sorrow, sadness, loss
  Disconsulation, mysterious dark
Angst that is deep and apparently without end
  Pessimism towards hope
Disquiet, restlessness yet paralyzed motion,
  Tears, quiet sobs
 
AND yet in time

A breeze, a shaft of sunlight
  a subtle easing of the pain
A lifting of the dull pallor to life
  An easing of the downward slope of lips and eyebrows
A hint of consulation
  The promise of something brighter, stronger
