Maybe in the Grip of Pain

May 30, 2016

Dear Subscriber:

Each week we examine a theme from a variety of points of view. The theme for this week is Memorial Day, which falls on May 30.

Today’s poem is a Memorial Day poem about love and grief.

I welcome comments on my poems at http://nicholasgordon.blogspot.com.

Yours,

Nick Gordon

Maybe in the grip of pain

Each moment seems like years.

Maybe there is beauty that

One cannot see through tears.

Remember that it’s love that is

Impossible to bear,

As loss would not be torture without

Love to lead it there.

Days of grief are days of grace,

Although quite different on their face.

Yet love is what they share.
