Love and Loss
Love is like death
Extreme
Beautiful
Terrible
Lovely
In the hour of darkness
I think of you
And my heart weeps
And yet…
Something tells me
As life is given
So death must prevail
And this giving and taking
Exists and co-exists
Having and not having
Sitting side by side
Like companions
In love
And so we share the loss
Accepting and thanking
The One
That gave us
Our loved one
Mourned today
We then discover
Just how exquisite
Is love
Just how perfect
And beautiful
It can be
And its mysterious companion
Death
