Some Grief Haiku by Janice Badger Nelson

On the grayest  day/

Nothing Takes my pain away/

So I keep walking. 

Sadness envelopes/

All of my waking hours/

Missing you is hell. 

No one understands/

The deep depth of my despair/

Because you aren't there.  

Why did you leave me/

I guess you can't quite answer/ 

Silence is your prayer. 

In the end I will/

Keep on walking each day/

In my mind with you. 

~Janice
