Grief is the undiscovered country

through which I wander

a trackless forest

that yields to fields

of strange flowers

No one can reveal

the way through

there are no signposts

telling me the mileage

to my destination

and so, I wander

stopping here and there

to take in the scenery

weeping

remembering

cherishing the gifts

of those who are now gone

lost

but not forgotten

and every so often

I look up

and see the stars
