In silence may pain dissipate
Allow grief to invoke its plan
Life is not ours to understand
I’ll meet you, then, beside the gate
.
Time is too cruel to ever wait
He plays his part, imperfect hand
In silence may pain dissipate
Allow grief to invoke its plan
.
A million times I’ll find a way
Bereft, I’ll still do all I can
What tests there are, I will withstand
I’ll keep you close, my dearest mate
In silence may pain dissipate

Turning Pages of Life
Life’s like a book — some parts are good, others not so much. Still, keep turning the pages; you might find the best chapter next. If someone hurts you, choose to forgive or just let it be, but never change who you are for them.

On Winning and Losing
Recently, the pleasant surprise of placement on the Vocal Bonus Leaderboard sent me down a rabbit hole. Now, rabbit holes are a pretty common place for me to spend time, but I don't always feel the call to write about them. To be honest, the thought of sharing some of them mortifies me.

Nice job!
Not a fan of this form but you made this beautiful.
So many lessons to learn from this one! (about life, grief, and how to write a great poem!)
This was so poignantly beautiful! You executed the rondell so brilliantly!
I loved it. Nice job!
Well done!
Agreed!
