My Grief Is Coming To See Me
A dread blackout in the soul
Eternal gloom covering the sky
Casting shadows where there was once light,
Look! it approaches with a grieving sigh.
Intermingled with sadness and firmly ingrained,
Penetrating through my heart, a delicious pain.
Surging over me like a ruthless wave,
Echoing in my soul, where memories remain.
Author's Notes:
In this acrostic poem, "Eclipse," I sought to capture the intertwining of grief and the astronomical phenomenon of an eclipse. The poem explores the metaphorical similarities between the shadowy nature of an eclipse and the experience of grief. Just as an eclipse temporarily obscures the light, grief can overshadow one's sense of joy and clarity. The phrase "My Grief Is Coming To See Me" reflects the idea that grief is not just a passing emotion but a visitor that returns, much like the cyclical nature of an eclipse. Through this poem, I aimed to convey the complex and lingering nature of grief, as well as the poignant beauty that can be found in its depths.
