THE UNMASKING OF GRIEF
I masked my sorrow but at times it burst, when the thoughts of the past years came to the screen of my mind, I could not help but weep.
Everything went stale and flat, energy wanes and enthusiasm dies. The barren days went by without any knowledge.
Tears cascaded into my lap like over-sized raindrops. The weeks and months that followed were a blur of grief.
My unhappiness brought gloom to the household. "No," I told myself, "I must wake up."
The setting sun was a blazing orange-red, making the water absolutely glow. The rain-washed hills looked beautiful.
All alone I tried to get over the sorrow. Life must continue, this life is not a bed of roses. Sorrows and pains, sickness and bereavement, all are part of life in this world. I must move on and take it easy.
