My grief softened by green
My grief, softened by green,
I pressed my hands into moss,
a quiet cushion for the weight
I could not speak aloud.
The earth held me gently,
without judgment, without rush,
offering softness where my heart
was raw and ragged.
Here, in the shade of ancient trees,
I let the silence cradle me,
a tender promise
that even broken things
can be held whole,
if only by green.
