Zelda’s Gift
I sat alone beside myself
Beside myself with grief
Inside myself
But searching
Outside for some relief
In the depths of sorrow
Awash in loss and pain
I saw a distant
Flashing Light
That made
Me look
Again
As I looked
Outside my loss
And focused further out
I saw that my path
Was lined with love
I felt the love
Of family and friends
I realized that loss
Is love
And Love often creates loss
But to not know love
And suffer no loss
Would cause a greater pain
So I will sit beside myself
And choose to love
Again
