Liminal and long

After nine months comes the crisis feared;

Acknowledgement of total,long feared loss.

With grievous pain ,the soul and heart are seared,

As we feel inside us all it’s cost,

 

The threshold of  this world   and of the new

A place to linger, liminal and long

We cannot see  new  landscapes in one view.

Without perception we may well  go wrong.

 

We wonder as we reach the point of choice

Who will guide us when we  must decide?

Shall we hear an inner,wiser voice

Or walk  with indecision by our side?

 

Loss brings   grief;evasion  does not heal.
Lonely ,we must eat this final meal
