The Organic Poet
LOSS & HOPE @ataraxypoetry
Overwhelmed by past and impending
Tragedies and doom
Dread and gloom
Unsettle and grip
Tightly
Shallow breathing
Tense body
There’s so much suffering
There could be fewer dying
Continue organizing
And helping one another
Always
There is always hope
And love
Much love to all
I'm so very sorry
For loss
I wish I could fill all our empty spots
Connect our hearts and heal us
I wish I could save those in need
I wish I weren't
Feeling powerless
I offer mere words
May time give us scars
Memories
And lessons
But allow us to continue
So we may fill our hearts
With new joys
And life
Restless
Not sleeping well
With time
Life could be
Swell
Dwell
In feelings of hope
And tranquillity
