The mind makes every attempt
at compensation
for loss
Even when understandable
expected
or necessary
All available tools at hand
are employed
Awakened (as usual) by the jungle
residual jumble
Images exactly
as from a dream
bring some semblance
of solace
While consciousness considers
the seamless transition
brought by clarity
and faith
Her presence
somehow seen
in a long-sought image
of unknown suffering
The connection
less thought of now
as resumption
of a previous theme
More the mind melds
with milder metaphor
An ending with promise
of new lives
unknowable joy
A new day
——
Blessed…
