Poet Fiona McHugh shares with us, “To Those Left Behind,” along with three other deeply brilliant poems that will be featured in the July issue of The Burgundy Zine.
Please don’t stand by my grave and cry
For I have sucked all the nectar out of life
Now that my soul has taken flight
I promise you, I’ll be alright
Lay down those flowers, and leave the stone
I can assure you, you’re not alone
When you accept the present and let emotions pass through
I can promise, that and time will heal you
Bask yourself in the light of peace
I swear, it’ll make it much easier for when you leave
What if we release attachment?
To all expectations and past habits?
I know you see this as rock bottom for you
Yet instead of climbing up, what if you break through?
