Grief, I've learned, is really just love. It's all the love you want to give, but cannot. All of that unspent love gathers in the corners of your eyes, the lump in your throat, and the hallow part of your chest. Grief is just love with no place to go.

[bye-or-bi]

So, the Covid situation in my country is bad. Like bad bad. Unfortunately my family was not spared and in that moment of utter chaos I stressed out and wrote a poem.

Even though my family is ok, my country isn't. So I thought I'd share the poem.

Clouds of Grey

- Dyuti

Come the clouds of grey

The clear sky is now covered

And to God we all pray

For the world we once loved

Then came the hurricane

And blew us away

Now we're all alone

The balance scale sways

The screams were silenced

And the families gone

While the people who were privileged

Sat on their throne of blood and bone

Their words of trust

Covering the greed

While the loved ones lost

Were never freed

They say they're sorry

But to the mother he lost

To the father he lost

They show no sympathy

The sun shines for you now

But for him, it's nowhere to be found

It's smiles and laughter now

But for him, the screams of agony is all that can be heard

The most painful goodbyes are the ones that are never said and never explained.

In these moments of heartbreaking grief, I remember the only reason we have an empty space is because we were blessed with someone who loved us so beautifully it occupied an entire part of our soul.

How Are You

(by Dyuti)

Hey, how are you?

I just wanted to know

Haven't seen you in so long

I wonder if anything's wrong

So much has happened

Since you've been gone

The world has changed

And so have I.

I still remember you though

I remember your laugh and your smile too

I remember how you held me close

I remember my safe haven

I remember all the laughter we shared

And the joy I felt

I remember the way you said my name

Don't think I'll ever forget that

Hope you're happy

Wherever you are

Hope you've found the peace

That you've longed for

I miss you

But it's all ok

Those we love never truly leave us. There are things that death cannot touch.

Those we love don't go away They walk beside us every day Unseen, unheard, but always near Still loved, still missed, and very dear
