Paradox

Artwork by Robert Pepperell

Every loss must be felt right to the core
Or else there’s a greater loss
Sadness must leave its mind to become grief
Or else it’ll just settle for repressive relief
So let the pain sweep through
And the even truer ache
And especially the bare need
The love beyond love
The pure heartbreak

Oh how sweet the inhale.
