What does a wobbling photo of grief mean?
This evocative simile, like a lover, evokes a powerful negative emotion of love. It will turn your reflection into a shaky snapshot of anguish. The wobbly photo indicates tears. I'm trying to be honest. This section of the poem is highlighted by alliteration. "Grief" and "love" are both repeated words that help link this section together. Love is like a shadow that follows you home from heaven. It was there when Christ died on the cross. It was there when he rose from the dead. And it will be there when he returns for his own. The Bible says in 1 John 2:17 that "the world passes away, but those who believe in Jesus will live forever." In other words, love is more powerful than death. And because God's love is limitless, so is our sorrow over losing someone we love. But love also has the power to heal. Jesus' death on the cross can remove the pain of loss forever. And since his return from heaven at the end of time, he will wipe away every tear from every eye. So in the end, grief becomes love. Grief leads us back to the one who caused it in the first place. Love leads us forward to new beginnings with others.
