Analysis of Grief
Grief is a personal matter.
It abounds around and about
Who or what is beyond or no more.
It is conscience "come alive" to
Either make a "fool of oneself"
Or make others a "bunch of fools"
For not feeling it...somehow.
It has life
Because it breathes
To its own rhythm. Always, it is--
In the heart that
When one dies, it lives in another.
For those who do not have one,
It is only a matter of time,
Or place, or reason beyond a doubt.
