when bad things happen
they encompass and enclose
we can not see beyond or around
we feel alone hidden
our heart shrinks
our minds close
we are silent in our fear, unbreathable blackness
moments to minutes to hours to days
with the passing time
without notice
strength comes and it grows
our eyes open we exhale
in us is the need to survive
it is basic
we turn and look back
to the pain
the loss, the fear
we inhale in the light and
we walk forward
as though commanded
without purpose, without need
just to survive
moments to minutes to hours to days
we turn back again to see
a lesson lays there in the past
a gift, that which hurt
now teaches
leaves us stronger knowing more of ourself
so we move forward
we live and we love
our heart grows
our minds open
we see the fit of the things that have passed
like that of a puzzle or a domino to tip the other
each was needed, good or bad
then days turn to years turn to decades
when we look in either direction
we now see the Big Picture
behind us
in front of us
down the way and beyond
the Big Picture of Life and Beyond is here in
each pain, each loss, each lesson, each love
it is our Life and it was meant to be just as it is
It is Us.
I hope this eases the woes, life brings many.

I love this line, pandora! and the repitition of it. It would make a great song, movie or book title.
I also like the positive, hopeful message your poem inspires.
