SORROW
Virginia Salter

sorrow
falls like frost-bitten
daisy petals
upon my cheeks
clinging to salty tears
wrapping up the years
in sadness of profound degree

what is to be with me?
what will be the words
that will lift me
that will cling to me
with a gladness
that transcends
all that life and death would give

then reaches
reaches for the seeds
that wriggle into enriched soil
prepared for growth
readied for beauty
bringing a sprout
to rise

This is absolutely stunning.

Beautifully done. I especially love the line - "frost bitten daisy petals upon my cheeks". You convey the depth of your sorrow so well. I hope you have since found the "seeds" of growth and beauty. Good write!
