death is empty egg
hope’s promise of life deferred
only shell remains
grief is thick blind slug
vulnerable on mud path
unaware it’s stuck
I write these haiku one week after my father’s funeral.

I’m sorry for your loss. I’ve learned that death is yet another attachment that we must surrender in order to rise with Christ on Easter.

Surrender…yes. Thank you for your helpful comment.

You’re welcome. Didn’t mean to give advice just empathizing and offering help.

death’s chrysalis
darkens; yet our Hope says soon

Beautiful, David…Christ is our Hope indeed.
