When Grief Comes Calling
Shernaz Tyebjee
Poetry
When Grief Comes Calling
The days are long
But the nights are darker
When grief comes calling
The sound of water splashing
Ashes lowered gently
The blue sea calling
Ashes lowered gently
You are safe
Embracing
When grief comes calling
Ten years
Seems like yesterday
When midnight stilled the universe
Yet at dawn the sun was shining
When grief comes calling
Ten years they say
Get up
Keep moving
Keep walking
Keep talking
Be still – head voices please
Keep it down
I want to hear the syllables clearly
When my name is said
When grief comes calling
Turn it off
Ten years they say
Move on they say
When grief comes calling
The days are long
But the nights are darker
