nature of loss

to look at an image of past years
and to grieve
to see the smiling faces intently
and to grieve
oh, the selfish humanity of it all
to grieve
what a sad thing memory is, to know
and to grieve
the time will come, we know not when
grief is gone
and what remained is gone too...
grieve again

It seems you are saying it is selfish to grieve maybe, because to loose MUST indicate 'possession' in that you can only 'loose' that which is yours in the first instance which by its very nature must indeed be selfish. Spiritually sound but most of us are not at this stage yet, most likely.

does grief ever leave? and it's something to be owned. time may heal wounds, but it also leaves scars. sad and poignant, it's good, goodguy. bouquet
