The door to yesterday flung open
with force and raging temperament
twisting like the hurricane, emotions rose
taking pieces of our sanity – discarding them
with violent blows, hammer on wood
our senses were assaulted, our rational
dispersed like spiralling winds from a
tornado, unable to root to earth
the blanket of fog we stepped into
not only was outside at the hour
on the hour, but carpeted our bodies
as we witnessed, your end to life
today we woke, the fog lifted
though the grey still sits and waits
patiently for us, till we have thoughts
of tomorrow – till we are ordinary again
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
May I just add a very big thank you to everyone for your empathy and condolences with the events of yesterday.
Ramblings From A Mum 
This is a lovely poem that sums up what you have been, and are, going through . I hope that the fog and the grey will not stay too long, though it is important they are there to experience.
Thank you Beth, the grey & fog – the grief is a necessary part to ensure we heal. Each day, we will step a little more into the world of ordinary. xx
Absolutely – hugs )

blanket of fog.. three words that describe that feeling oh so perfectly. Ordinary takes time..
Thinking of you
Thank you so much for ‘all of it’ xx
That last paragraph is so beautiful, and makes me realise that something pure can come from pain, like a new shoot of green after long, dark winter months. Take your time, and remember we all think the world of you 😉
Thank you so much G, the beauty is in the remembering, in knowing that when we do something that reminds us of her, she is within us. She was a lovely lady, who did not have an easy life, she shall be missed by many. xx
oh Jen, that last stanza is so wow. your words work so well with the picture – heart-wrenchingly beautiful. xx
Thank you my darling – thank you, that means a lot to me. xx
