it comes, the time not known
challenged, our deepest feels
tormented, our being
bump, hit hard
loss, contemplated
pain, caused and felt
moment, reality of feel
terms, we approach them
time, sluggish and unyielding
waiting, viscous and sticky
guilt, heavy and hard
words, inadequately limited
apology, humbly sincere
grace, undeserved and comforting
relief, crumpling
real, known
