Dreamt last night of flying in a small plane over the Atlantic, quite close to the water, close enough to be able to see with perspective but not too far removed. And there were big black slick sharks, many, jumping. And then, in their midst, a dolphin, which had no chance. And I wrote it down this morning and cried and cried and cried. The dolphin, all about love and connection and innocence, had no chance with these sharks. But the sharks were part of the balance of ocean things, of life things. I couldn't deny them their life either. But oh, the sad. So thank you. I'm late to this grief party but finding your post today is such good timing.

This poet seems to be popular with your readers, and prolific on the subject of grieving. These lines from "Mourning to Do" are ones I am thinking on:

…So it is now the gentle waking to what was,
And what is and will be a long as I am alive.
“Happy grieving,” someone said who knew –
Happy the dawn of memory and the sunrise.

(May Sarton)
