Yesterday’s loss
feels like a picture captured
to remind about existence
no more yet it
no longer stings
of need
or imparts
a cautionary tale.
And this painful day
will fade
to regret and remember
accomplishments to build
upon loss buried.
We feel struggle
in pain yet
experience peace
in retrospect,
happiness in it’s absence.
No one position
owns comfort,
and shift brings relief
to the stuck yet
the longing for the
unappreciated
will feed regret
that separates the sour now
from what we recall
as better then.
