Indeed, at such times it does feel like the tides gone out, forever. But, it always turns.

Life, energy, laughter, light, love... I can imagine everything that is stolen from her and then, I can imagine how it all comes back. Funny how most comments are about the cyclical nature of life. Somehow, your poem implies the positive after the negative.

An insightful reflection ~
Oh yes, suffering, the great equalizer. It is so easy to go numb even when we want to allow ourselves to break open and let the heart feel.
Blessings,

Gravity has a way of doing that to you.
Stay true to yourself
The cycle of the sun will bring
A new ray of laughter - someday.
Sooner for your sake - I pray.

Somehow I can feel this one and synpathize with you for sometimes the things we value most are taken from us...but then again sometimes we push them away. Either way I can definately empathize with your poem.
