April 2020

Each of us has our grief, from canceled weddings and baby showers, canceled trips, missing our mothers, missing our sisters, missing our friends. For some there is death too. Sometimes death without goodbye. Sometimes death alone in a hospital bed. It’s all real, this sorrow we are swimming in. I am witness to the darkness, someone sobbing on the other line as I deliver some fresh devastation, with no face I can to match with their grief. 

Each of us alone, we are swimming in this sorrow together.

Lion


Little lion
I carry you with me
You bring me light 
At midnight 
You bring me courage 
When I’m shaking in the wind

One foot in front of the next
I’m brave when they need me 
I’m blazing like the sun
for you 
my little lion
