The day I lost someone

Feeling grief linger around me like a cloud,

Raining heavy hail stones of cold dread.

Hearing the rustle of nature as I walk by,

These are the memories that drift past and force me to smile.

Trying to escape my depression and into joyfulness,

But knowing that nothing will make me stop thinking about it.

Laying on the flower bed in the garden,

Listening to the bee’s mysterious song.

The trees I walk by seem to be connecting with me,

And the breeze whisper gently.

Becoming one with my surroundings,

The cold dread has melted and my feelings are now calmed.
