Faith during times of grieving

A chapter in the book Wonder

Victorious Faith

by Michelle D. Carr

 

Needs come without consent.

Life flings them from above.

Desires are birthed and grow,

with dreams of endless joy,
 
till loss sickens the soul.
 


A frantic fight begins.

Offload, downsize, discard.

Grief numbed by anxious acts

mask the weeping sick soul 

while navigating loss.

 

Fearfully, we throw away,

give away the memories.

Torn and stripped of all feeling

they return, revived and taunt 
 
with shame, sorrow and regret.
 

Sweet surrender enfolds 

with blessed emptiness.

Peaceful contemplation 

saves an inglorious life
 
and faith defeats despair.
