GRIEF IS... A LABOURER
04/05/2022
Grief is disguised as a trickster
Conjuring weariness from the invisible
But look again
Grief has you digging
Deep into sacred spaces
For precious memories long buried
Grief has you pushing and pulling
The love lost in the void
Bereft of a heart to embrace
Grief has you carrying
The hod filled with sorrow not seen
Pressing heavily on your soul’s shoulders
Grief is actually a labourer
Tilling the rugged ground of hardest parting
Grief is exhausting
Be gentle with yourself.
