--loss--

    rough day today, long walk, soar feet...
(this came to mind along the way)--


loss,
   a condition of knowing, not having, and
enduring both, in some way--
   as we adjust to this situation, over time, the
strain is less, as the burden becomes lighter,
from gained strength, rather than a lightened
load...
   let's hope one day we might lay down this
weight, and come to a peace with how things
are, they might have been, and the way we
think things should be...
      --(pain fades, but love remains)--

                                  --best wishes to all--
