Grief Seeds by Kalindi Dinoffer Oh death! I feel the grief seeds tugging at my heart. I cry out why why oh death must you take so many loved ones? Don't you see mothers crying, daughters lamenting, lovers lost adrift without their beloved, wives broken, husbands weeping, children without parents, parents without children? Oh death! I don't fear you. Not for me anyway- dying I mean. But losing loved ones my heart can't bear it for myself and others take me not them. I would offer myself as a sacrifice if it would stop the pain of all the parents, children friends, lovers, siblings losing their loved ones' beautiful company in this life. Oh death! As the seeds of grief take root and bury deep in the hearts of those that have lost so much, I wonder what will grow from these seeds? Are you trying to teach us about the preciousness of life? How delicate and incredible each flower is, so that we remember each day to shower each flower around us: each flower
