Don’t Think I Do Not Grieve

by Brenda Penepent

Don’t think I do not feel;

because you see no tears.

A river rages deep inside

of grief, and loss, and fears.

Just because I do not cry now,

don’t think my heart’s not broken.

I keep inside the misery

of words not to be spoken.

Sometimes I smile, or crack a joke,

so you won’t see the pain;

or notice how my hands will shake,

or how I’ve gone insane.

Each time I chance to think of him,

my heart is ripped asunder.

The loss I feel is mine alone.

you will not see my thunder.

From The Poems of Dylan Thomas

Do not go gentle into that good night,

Old age should burn and rave at close of day;

Rage, rage against the dying of the light.

Though wise men at their end know dark is right,

Because their words had forked no lightning they

Do not go gentle into that good night.

Good men, the last wave by, crying how bright

Their frail deeds might have danced in a green bay,

Rage, rage against the dying of the light.

Wild men who caught and sang the sun in flight,

And learn, too late, they grieved it on its way,

Do not go gentle into that good night.

Grave men, near death, who see with blinding sight

Blind eyes could blaze like meteors and be gay,

Rage, rage against the dying of the light.

And you, my father, there on the sad height,

Curse, bless, me now with your fierce tears, I pray.

Do not go gentle into that good night.

Rage, rage against the dying of the light.

With heartfelt sympathy to the Rubery family

Most Sincerely Chris Welch
