Imagine
This post is actually accomplishing two things; it's an update as well as an assignment. I recently read the book, "It's OK That You're Not OK", by Megan Devine (thanks for sharing, Sharyn). There are some good tips for expressing creativity during grief. The author also offers an online writing e-course which I am currently taking and one of our assignments is to look through a newspaper and pick out some random words that call to you and make something from that. This is the result:
Imagine
Imagine embracing this heartbreak
Surrender to this pain
Allow, with your heart and soul
Mostly happy memories remain
Imagine the chance to build new
Let your breaking point go
A future not empty, but opened
Just imagine it so
