A lifetime of living
And loving
Just doesn't fit
In the package.
The heart, too full.
The tears, too small.
The words, too few
To contain it all.
The loss, too great.
The grief, too new.
The wait, too long.
Dee, I'll miss you.

Bombarded by a steady stream of data, demands, and decisions, she felt fragmented—uncertain of herself and even less certain of her place in the current universe. She wished that a pause button would induce a state of suspended animation, creating a conceptual place outside the fabric of space-time where she could recompose herself. In that space she would collect and consider pieces of herself. She would sift, sort, synthesize, reshape, and revise her thoughts, her life, and herself there.

It is a beautiful poem.
Thanks, babs and Jessie! Writing it was a great way to make sense of the feelings!
