Losing is the beginning
Loss is part of it all
Every moment of time passes
Lose one more valuable second
Come to terms with newness
New is old you losing
Losing all its belongings
Losing the wonderess being
Loss has no point of returning
Loss is like a water pouring
Loss is a lock without a key
Loss is a poem with no meaning
As morning finds its way
Finding what life offers
With every losing moment
We have a flower blooming
So much we lose in life
So much cannot be returned
We are all in the same storm
We have to look after the norm
We try to achieve certainty
Yet still all life is uncertain
We work hard and try hard
Not to lose our uniqueness
One thing is certain though
After every moment lost
There opens a new door
There comes a new spring
If loss had a colour it had to be black. This is because black symbolises both beginning and an end. When we experience loss, there are a lot of things that are associated with it, this could be an emotional part of us, a space, an object, a person, an event, relationship, a job or change in identity and many other possibilities. To go towards healing from loss, we can experience shock or disbelief and move towards acceptance. There are emotions such as anger and sadness associated with loss, the reason for this is that loss is a very deep emotion and with it there are other emotions that can be experienced.
Loss hurts because it matters, and keeping it means transforming it to love in a new way, to learn from it, to deepen our understanding of our situation. This is because loss can be a source of empathy, compassion and wisdom, a new beginning of an end.
