Grief ~~

Bent Over Antidote 

Some days I feel bent over

unsure and weighted down

by grief until I reach inside

for the young woman within

and step into her agile skin

where I can stand tall again

*My friend Mary Steensma captured Franz Metzner's evocative sculpture depicting grief in this drawing she sent with words of encouragement that inspired this poem.  Thanks again, Mary.
