How does one describe grief? The more intense it is, the tougher it is to give it a palpable feel. Let me see if i can think of images that might capture grief.
A sob as an earthquake? Tears like the tsunami waves in flow, never receding, the new encircled by and enveloping the old? The heart ache like the dry desert suffering the ultimate heat wave? The throbbing head like the deep crater after the volcano eruption? The empty feel of the mindscape like the midnight hour of the no-moon day!?!
And yet despite such negativities, in the midst of all the shapes and swirls of grief, there is the ultimate certainty that you would never forget. The forever lost, now never to be met, near and dear one would every second live on in your memory, like the dry bed of a lost river, with the distant assurance that a tiny blue bloom would blossom, despite the briny brackish hurt in dry eyes!
Pratima@ Grief has no words. It is a wild regret chilling till the bone marrow!
