    DEATH: Didn't Ever Accept This Heartache

    Send me an umbrella Lord, to separate me from that dark cloud of doom.

    Validate this smile which I wear, only when someone comes in the room.

    Be patient with me Lord, for there's things I can't quite understand.

    Like how You take folks from us, who are in great demand.

    As children we think the days are abstract and oh so long.

    There are times we've felt awkward and thought that we didn't really belong.

    We had experienced much joy with our friends while at play.

    Never stopping to think that we could lose them someday.

    You give us Family, Elders, Mentors and Friends so dear.

    We grow older, live our lives then they all just start to disappear.

    I'm trying to take comfort in knowing they are at peace and are with You.

    Until You come for me, I'm sentenced to feeling these shades of blue.

    Shake this depression which is felt through my every breath.

    Help me oh Lord to deal with the sorrow of death.

    You still only have this one poem... Do you have any others? Death is something that we never get over... I still grieve over the lost of my Mom but I remember her life more as time passes on... I wrote a poem called mommy dearest... I don't know if you read but it for my mom... I think writing is the best form of healing because you can express yourself and it doesn't matter if anyone understands but at least it is said... I guess it God rendition of an umbrella for me...

    Very touching sentiments. It’s easy to say things like ‘it’s a part of life’ or any one of a hundred other aphorisms people declare to rationalize grief… but, somehow, they never seem to make it any easier.

    Thanks Mary, it's a reflection of my feelings. Funningly enough, that's when I'm most creative, when I'm going through something. I appreciate you checking it out. :-)

    Poetry is not an expression of the party line. It's that time of night, lying in bed, thinking what you really think, making the private world public, that's what the poet does.

    Allen Ginsberg (1926-1997) U.S. poet.
