Exceptional working through grief Falling Rain of Yesterday by Janet Foor Artwork by simonka at FanArtReview.com

Denial The falling rain of yesterday caught me off guard again last night. I felt the tears begin to fall, and tried to hide them from your sight.   Anger There’s fury in that falling rain, that flattens golden fields of wheat. My garden is its battleground. with force that’s often indiscreet.   Depression There’s sadness in the falling rain. It penetrates right from the start. A beastly haze of mist and fog that permeates my mind and heart.   Bargaining Each rivulet must run its course and each sad day must decompose. I found His promise in the rain that nourishes tomorrow's rose.   Acceptance Bear witness to the falling rain as with each drop I’m nourished too. Its scent brings gratitude and grace. My winter with a diff’rent view. Recognized Author Notes Just working through some grief that has plagued me for years. Through the help of God, I have let it go only to have it triggered again by some small event like a falling rain. Having written this poem, I will set it aside, again.
