Poem: Dark Emotions

These cold rainy days
bring up dark emotions
and memories
of distant losses...

Losses that were never mine.
Losses that I inherited.

Wounds that have not yet healed
reopen
and warm tears flow
from somewhere
deep inside,
from something
deeply hidden
and forgotten...

Thank God
for these cold rainy days
that bring up
dark emotions
and memories
of distant losses...

The bright Sun
does not Heal
our Hearts
quite like this!
It does not
keep us
as Honest...
