For Carrie’s Sunday Muse BlogSpot. Artwork is: “Eyes Without a Face” by Digital Collage Artist Robin Isely A short one today. I have been immersing myself in Japanese classic haiku and am starting back on my quest to be succinct.
Tears in Frames
“One by one, drops fell from her eyes like they were on an assembly line – gather, fall, slide…gather, fall, slide…each one commemorating something she had lost.” ― Lisi Harrison, Monster High
Tears came before I could stop them,
what was the point in wiping them off?
I have imprisoned myself in my grief –
observers wander the halls
in the museum of my grief –
as lost as I

Such a powerful representation of grief. It holds sadness but does it beautifully. You have been on my mind. Always glad to see you here Toni. 🌻

Thank you for thinking of me Carrie. It helps to not feel so alone.

Toni, Pup taught me everything I know about grief – I had thought I was prepared, but one is never prepared for the ABSENCE. It becomes a presence in itself that we learn to live with. A wise doctor told me the depth of the grief honours the depth of our love. I dont ever want to “get over” Pup. I loved him too much. I am thinking of you as you make this journey. It is a hard one but it brings gifts. We were lucky to have loved and been loved so well.

The tears that bar the eyes, walling in grief, until they finally fall.

The sharing of grief, though one wonders if others understand it, has been helpful many times in my life. Nicely done!

I wonder how we can ever learn about such grief… when you are two, one will go first and the other will live with the pain.

At some point I wrote a poem about being half of a pair. It is a painful transition, however don’t make a prison of your grief. Allow yourself to experience a different chapter in life.

Hopefully, one day the grief will be easier but, for now allow yourself to release those tears.
wishing you peace…

How haunting, suspended tears as “prisons,” as “museums”! Brilliant.

Thanks!

“The museum of my grief” – so aptly said.

Might I ask about that painting?

You would need to ask Carrie as she is the prompter for Sunday Muse Blogspot.
