Suddenly

Grief knows no time.

The heaviness

the loneliness.

Suddenly

and without mercy

Death comes for us all.

Transformation

Evolution.

A second self emerges,

changed.

You think you know

the depth of your love.

Until...

Suddenly

you realize

it is immeasurable.

there is no quantification

to the sadness.

an unending sorrow

which we learn to bear.
