“You Still Live (Overcoming Grief Sonnet)

After your month long battle for breath,

Today I place you in nature’s lap.

I know she’ll care for you well, like she once brought you to the world.

Fact of the matter is, you still live, just in different form among the elements.

Nature’s forces make us awake and restless, Nature’s forces coerce us into eternal rest.

There is no heaven, there is no hell, these are concepts made by cowards.

Life is too sacred to be confined by obsolete lies and superstitions.

Your light of affection shall continue to shine bright in my memories.

I won’t say goodbye, for you still live.”
