1. This is such a mix of beauty and despair, Balroop.
   I really love the lines
   “wildflowers don dewy robes
   Even the willows shimmer.”

   I pray that soon you are able to swish the drapes apart and allow dawn back into your heart, my friend. I know your husband would want you to walk in the light. Sending you prayers and hugs. ❤️

16. Balroop ji, these are beautiful poems. The line ‘yet my heart harbors a grudge’ resonated with me. This is how I felt when I lost dad.
    And also the lines ‘ Nebulous night drags
             as I gaze at the ceiling –
            empty, like my life.’
    Losing a loved one isn’t easy. May God give you strength.
