Drift Away 08/20/2021

In the midst of despair
Emotions flare
Anger quickly spreads
Pulling the mind
Down a black hole
As grieving a loss
Reappears
Once again.

Tis normal to feel
Lonely and confused
But don’t allow
Sadness to linger
Too long.

For you’ll re-create
The event again
And again
In your thoughts.

Use the flow of music
To break the ties
Of sadness.

Listen with the heart
Instead of your head
As you drift away
Into melodic
Peacefulness.

Utilize the rhythm
Of healing
And the rhyme
Of love
Blending with harmony
As a symphonic fusion occurs.

Helping your inner strength
Frees the soul
And acknowledge
With love
Life continues on.
