Radrook here a once again to offer some suggestions.
Apologies if i offend. It isn’t my intention.
Please feel full free to cast aside all things you deem not helpful.
But if you do be sure its true by being extra careful.
That having been said:
Thanks for sharing this poem about the loss of someone that was dearly loved. I like the way that the poem describes that actual process of dealing with the emotions that arise during such a bitter experience. The fear that one will never see that person again. The realization that we are all mortal and scheduled to suffer the same demise. The overwhelming sense of helplessness in the face of what appears to be the inevitable.
We all deal with it in ways that are perhaps not as traumatic initially. The death of a pet. The death of some distant relative, the death of a famous person. But is only when the death is of someone beloved that it hits us with a shatter force that demands denial, grief and final acceptance and perhaps a religiously based hope that somewhere somehow our beloved one is still well an conscious.
Looking forward tio reading more of your poetry.
