This poem is about grief as a universal facet of the human condition. This poem is inspired by a Buddhist parable.
Awe Consuming Grief
She suffered
In this whirled
Of sow much grief
Awe consuming
She wanted
To call upon
A wise guy
Who would make an offer
She could not re-fuse
Of making some bread to live on
And part take of it
Mysteriously simple
Such common ingredients
But with won
Caveat emptor
Gather each
From a houselold without grief
And she found herself
Travailing from neighbor to neighbor
Mirrorly to discover
Not a soul house without grief
And to her surprise
Not consuming
Awe the better
