the sadness before separation
x
fall will turn to winter
after the letting go
don’t go away
I must
there are things for me
on the other side
and I am called
I have been suffering
all that will change now
x
this is what to feel for now
the sadness before separation
it’s easier to say
for now
x
the greater pain is coming
the confusion of mortality
the letting go

Wow, my friend. Interesting that we have both used spider webs in our latest posts. Perhaps it’s just the season. So. This writing landed hard. I don’t even know how to respond, really. I didn’t sense you were not doing well…wow. Sending prayers.

It is hard to let go. I loved this poem.

Are you referring to your brother. Peace be with you, Christopher.
