sunrise

During my college days, I have learned that there are five steps of GRIEF.

Denial, anger, bargaining, depression and finally acceptance.

I’m not really certain as to where my feet is standing in the present,

All I know is that I have felt anger and have risen above it.

Depression is a very strong word so I guess I consider “loneliness” as its surrogate…

Yes, I have been lonely for a while but I have seen that there are more things to be thankful for.

Denial? I have it beside me since day one and I can’t figure out why it wouldn’t run off.

Oh, maybe because I still have a little faith, faith in everything I suppose.

And lastly, Acceptance… maybe I’m still working on it; Time will manage.

Let me just share to you what rising up this morning made me realize.

Waking up today felt unusual compared to the gone passing days,

Feeling a little numb I guess.

As I walked on the outside, I have captured the beautiful sunrise in my eyes,

It was amazing; it made my sentiments lighter to carry.

It made me reflect that I can beat GRIEF as long as I take each day one at a time,

that there’s always something wonderful to cherish everyday aside from those negative vibes.

I may have LESS in my heart today and tomorrow,

But all I know is I’m capable of giving MORE than I can.

Never will I cut short for I know that LIFE is what you make it.

So, thank you for the beautiful SUNRISE today. It turned my gray clouds into a sunny one.
