Take a slow, filling breath,

Let it sink in deep.

And, allow yourself to focus,

letting the tension release.

PAUSE

Stay with those feelings,

As they dissipate your stress,

And leave you open and aware

Of what you want to express.

PAUSE

There are times in life,

When our grief is like a slide,

It sends mood downward,

And it feels like an endless ride.

PAUSE

It opens a pit in your core,

With pain you want to kill.

You try everything to suppress it,

But the pain comes back still.

PAUSE

Grief is a feeling 

That finds you when you hide,

Then sends you spiraling,

Farther down the slide.

PAUSE

So, breathe very deep.

Go ahead and scream and cry.

Let out all the pain

That keeps lurking inside.

PAUSE

For it will pause eventually,

And give you peace,

And you’ll feel a bit better,

When you let these emotions release.

PAUSE

So, when you’re on the grief slide,

Whizzing down fast,

Imagine grabbing hold of the sides,

Until the feelings pass.

Then visualize, if you can,

Inching back up the slide,

Getting to the top,

Where you started the ride.

And give yourself a break,

Or maybe a pat on the back,

No matter where you climb to,

You’ve made progress–that’s a fact.

PAUSE

And the next time your grief,

Pries open your core,

And you’re compelled to fill it

With something more.

Imagine your hands,

Holding onto each side,

And pushing yourself back up

To the top of the slide.

PAUSE

Then breathe.

And breathe.

And breathe.

PAUSE

Just give yourself space and know,

This how you handle your grief,

And that in time, it will pass,

And bring you relief.

Blessings.

NAMASTE, BEAUTIFUL
