Grief is a companion

🍃 Grief is a companion On days like that, I wonderhow the last breath feels—inside— In this big orchestra, some call Life,I wonder even moreif preludes, our days in between,promise more substantial hours—later— Long frail fingers plays the noteson one old piano’s keys,a fugue,where voices flee,chasing each other in an intricate dance. Grief is a […]

Just look at the sole of my feet —he said—his words bouncing from one cloud to the next—they are no color;because this skin never comes into contact with light. So, what’s the fuss? Melanin […]
