And so it goes (poem)

In the little room in the corner of my heart,
I find sanctuary from the pain beating through it,
a constant methodological beat of grief and sorrow
made up of the voices of all I've lost.

The room is warmly lit by a dim desk lamp
standing on the corner of the little desk
next to an inkwell and a white fountain pen,
papers with maddened scribbles covering the rest.

And amongst the chaos I create,
I find the clarity that the beating drowns out,
the lesson, the answer, to my questions of pain,
so I may emerge to soothe my aching heart.
