we were everything good
sad and real from every
Love story that was untold we were everything
but what saved us— and didn't
—we would learn everyone has a tell

Poem for Tuesday 13 days. I was honored to have this poem included. Oct 1st, 2025. Thank you, Guest Editor Peter Lilly & EIC Deryck Robertson @paddlerpress.bsky.social —13 days I learned about faith I learned about loss and grief. I learned we don't always get what we want

13 days
Alison P. Birch
on the 13 days, my best friend was in a coma
I learned more about faith than all my Sundays in church
I learned about —faith
I learned about loss and grief I learned we don't always get what we want
or what we feel we need I learned we might have the worst days of our lives
I learned we might feel we will never recover
I learned we may spend hours and days on the floor praying and coming undone begging our god for a miracle that our best friend, or child
or the love of our life will wake up, be ok again
and our faith keeps us going and may be renewed hundreds of times a day giving us strength, breath, and hope I learned that when it feels like hope runs out and maybe they don't wake up or won't be with us here ever again on earth faith can keep us going
faith can fill us with peace that surpasses understanding faith may be
the only thing that can
