Rather than squeeze my brain dry trying to express that which has not been processed, I would just borrow words from the Bard who seemed to go have gone through something akin to one of my recent experiences when he wrote the following sonnet.
| SONNET 30 William Shakespeare |
|---|
| When to the sessions of sweet silent thought |
| I summon up remembrance of things past, |
| I sigh the lack of many a thing I sought, |
| And with old woes new wail my dear time's waste: |
| Then can I drown an eye, unused to flow, |
| For precious friends hid in death's dateless night, |
| And weep afresh love's long since cancell'd woe, |
| And moan the expense of many a vanish'd sight: |
| Then can I grieve at grievances foregone, |
| And heavily from woe to woe tell o'er |
| The sad account of fore-bemoaned moan, |
| Which I new pay as if not paid before. |
| But if the while I think on thee, dear friend, |
| All losses are restored and sorrows end. |
Something like that. Past, sigh, waste, dateless; friends, losses, grievances, sorrows -these words tell the tale I want to weave. I'm not sure if I have the same ending. I wish this stage would end! Oh, I shall stop grieving over foregone grievances and accounting fore-bemoaned moans. May my losses be restored and these sorrows end. Perhaps when I find one such dear friend. That would be sweet.
