A River of silent tears

Last few days, people ask; Are you ok?

People say, Be strong!  Time heals!  Move on!

I have said that in the past too.

Is this how grief looks like?

Grief entered my life like an awful intruder.

It shattered me into million pieces on the floor.

It took me to all the places darker.

Where the river of silent tears flow slower.

Grief showed me all the places I was once with my loved one.

And, all the places I can't be with my loved one.

Grief showed me that,  I need to live with all the questions??? 

I need to live, knowing there are no answers.

Grief made me go back to all the love I ever felt!! Hugs!! Kisses !! Joy!! Laughter!

And, all that I cannot feel any longer.

Grief taught me to absorb, accept !!

I don't wail, my arms dont flail

I just let the river of silent tears flow.

Dare, I question the Divine's plan

He, sure does know my pain.

He says I am in the middle of a metamorphosis.

I have known his kindness!!
