Sacred Grief

 -for the heartbroken-

The depths of this kind of grief 
brings me to a place that is unreachable 
down into the dark night of the soul and 
into the depths of somewhere unfathomable 
I sink, inconsolable 

This is the kind of grief that fills empty spaces 
with jarring cadences of lament & loss - 
there is no other sound aside from this rising cry 
I weep, inconsolable 

And I find, in this constrictive space of death and gloom
You, oh gentle and lowly 
ready to sink with me; desirous to be with me 
in this sacred space that is grief unnamed
