Will we ever get over our losses?
Yes, we will when we are ready.
When will we be ready?
In small moments, when we are present.
When will be present?
The choices are limitless.
Maybe at a sunrise,
When it is still too early.
A sunset,
When it is a wrap-up for the day.
Even a midafternoon,
The summer heat scorching our backs.
Or a rainy day,
Where we get soaked to our bones, shivering.
When a stranger is kind,
For no reason.
When the wind blows,
And hugs you tight.
When the storm courses
And you are frightened.
When your tear ducts fill up,
For joy or sadness.
Alone in a coffee shop,
Or surrounded by friends!
The moment will arrive,
Unannounced as a sweet surprise.
Be ready with your arms wide open,
To let all that grief and loss go.
Bio:
Devi Vengadasalam’s passion for writing was ignited during High School but she has since been caught up in the whirlwind of life, and could not find time to pursue it.
Starting a blog in 2007 was the turning point for her. It was when she took the first step towards putting thought into action. Two online courses later, she landed the opportunity to write a column. While the classroom might have ignited her love for poetry, it has always been a constant comfort for her all these years.
