This poem sent to the site,
by published poet Karen T. Coutermarsh Fahel, was the first of my confirmations
for the Transformation Butterfly. In this poem she captures the essence
of what I feel is essential important to understanding the grief experience.
Each of us may be 'alone' in our unique experience with a loss, but the
underlying feelings of grief are common and these common feelings can be
understood by others who have experienced a loss.
This realization is an important part of the transformation process. |
I creep along my way I look up and I see the sky I wish so hard that I can fly And soar above the day I'm shadowed by the swaying grass
I'm thinking that I'm all alone
They notice me, I notice them
