Grief is Hidden

Grief is hidden.

I see it in my Instagram posts.

My posts about celebration,
joy, encouragement, anthems
are shared.

My posts about grief,
are saved.

I see it
in myself.

I wonder if all those years ago,
I had created an 'In Memory Of Portrait'
of my mom with an artist like me,
what would my grief journey
have looked like then?

To have had it been out in the open,
beautifully depicted, heard, and seen
by a gentle, kind spirit,
who understands.

What memories
would I have brought
into the future?

What essence
would have been captured
of our relationship at that time,
with me as a child, a daughter,
and her as my mom?

What would my grief
have looked like then? And now?
Where would I be now?

A radical act of healing,
whose fruit would have expanded
far beyond the reaches of our imaginations.

Threads extended
out into the universe,
making their life
amongst stars...

. . .
