Bereft



A wave of grief came over me suddenly this morning.....completely consuming.
For what?  I am not sad.  There's been no ending. I wept deeply quite unexpectedly.  


I opened the curtains in my bedroom to let some LIGHT into my life. A limousine and police motorcycles lined the road in front of a neighbor's house. People in church clothes were gathered outside. And I said a prayer, not for the soul who passed, but for the ones left behind whose sadness was so deep, it found its way to me............
