After the tears are dry
and the calm
the breath
return
After the storm
emotions held in check
smiles and promises
equal parts
hesitation
and anticipation
After the goodbye
This death
with love
unfailing
gives birth to beauty
unspeakable.
Life's too funny not to be taken seriously.

beautiful poem, erin. you doing okay?
I'm good -- I had to say goodbye to someone very dear yesterday who is moving on to better things. It's an odd feeling, pain of loss mixed with excitement for the future.
This is beautiful!
