The Afters

Posted on by areadingwriter

notice how the
verdant blanket
look greener
after a stormy night,

notice how the
sun’s glorious rays
shine extra brighter
after a pitch black night,

notice how your
fragile, fearful heart
beats braver
after losing a fight.

for in failing,
in losing,
we grow.

  2. There is richness to be gained from our loses, as this poem so eloquently depicts. Also I read your book “Between My Bleeding Lines.” The poems really are so powerful, raw and real…a living testament that there really is beauty in loss. Congrats!
