GATHERING
Gathering.
Young and old
to honor one
too young.
Young widow
surrounded.
Parents
surrounded.
Yet still three very alone people.
Shock still lives here, but -
Each ebbing of the sun
moving shock's cold reach
farther off.
Pain and anger.
Acceptance and reconciliation.
Each arrives in its turn
doing its work as
new life begins again.

Loss too soon, grieving process,circle of life.

"Each ebbing of the sun" - so aptly put.
sad lose,
especially for the young.

What a very sad post, with this broken grave marker.
Three very alone people in pain and anger. So well written, Annie!
Very sad.
Very beautifully written, three people alone. I can't inagine their pain.
The prompt this week has brought such sadness about loved ones gone.
Loved yours, some beautiful lines.
Hard to lose a young person especially. So many emotions. You have gone through the transitions well!
Thank Heaven new life begins again!
Very touching piece, Annie.
A soldier, perhaps, defending our country, our freedom, at what cost...his life!
Heartfelt. Raw emotions. Very well done.
Hi Annie, I am here from Ginny's blog.... She was raving about you---so I decided I needed to get to know Annie!!!! Ginny is a fabulous friend ---so any friend of hers is a friend of mine.

such a vicious, beautiful cycle.
lovely magpie.
Nicely done ...
A finely tuned circle!
Oh such a beautiful portrayal of the cycle of loss. I can't imagine lossing a child at six days old. If I am reading that stone right.
Beautiful post!
