what about the grief

lying there in the corner

all too familiar

almost out of sight and thought

tiny sliver you can't find

I'll bet you can find it now.

That's the perfect analogy for grief. You can never predict when it will make itself known. Well done, Mark. Very subtle and understated.

. . . but know it's there. Excellent, Mark.

Thanks Alison & Jim, this time of year sure does stir the pot doesn't it?
