scull the water to sail above the wave

Waves of Grief Waves slow dragging grains of memories Thick storm clouds of death  Inflate new waves with past pain Crashing waves crush feelings of acceptance Stirring up glass shards of unprocessed grief Drowning souls on slippery rocks Grasping and gripping at sharp edges of reality Fog swirls blocking perception  Azure droplets singe the skin  Flashbacks choke intertwined with future fog Suffocating dreams at their source  Grey curtains flutter Grains settle into new residences Lasers of light paint messages  Fleeting- on the waves of grief  Settling until the next storm 

Reverberations Memory reverberates best in empty spaces Spaces made empty by the simplest act Whitewashing balanced colors of emotion Paintbrushes of pain, caked and fresh Streak the white with jagged strokes Blend into indecipherable colors  Reverberations travel through mind, body & soul Hand to paintbrush, paintbrush to canvas Fast and furious fades out Painful pauses fill in  Paintbrush to hand Hand to mind Reverberations of pain Travel back and forth Space begins to fill Reverberations pack themselves Into soundproof boxes Till the next unlocking Of everlasting reverberations
