BRAVELY INTO THE WOODS
Bravely into the woods
Dark canopy filtering sunlight
To slits and sparkles
On the forest floor
We enter willingly
Not knowing how this relationship
Will evolve
Whether beneficial in the long run
Or shorter than life-long
But if there was a bounty
That this life can offer
It is in commitment and family
It is in the loving bonds you form
The most ardent is passion
The deepest hold is daughter and son
Harshest pain is the loss of one
And how some poor innocent soul
Must suffer the loss of more than one
Is really hard to comprehend
Thus God made us resilient
Able to both feel and recover
From excruciating pain
As though we must experience
These polar events
Must learn to process and heal
Must laugh and cry
In order to be absorbing
Into the consciousness
Of God’s mind
And we have no definitions
For this plan
We just accept it and move on
