Loss is loss and in my opinion could never be seen as anything but less than the way things should be. The poem speaks of the human capacity for resilience, but has regret and grief running like a seam through it. Blythe reading it in an almost halting tone, is an honest rendition I believe. By necessity humans need to live with loss, can even rise triumphant above it, but we don't have to like it. Thanks for this I loved hearing the poem and have enjoyed reading about your thoughts.Kay Cookehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01791873464409271216noreply@blogger.com
