Poem -
DESOLATION
Do not count the tears
As the dam inside you cracks
Let it flow untill it flows no more
Gone is hope to hold it back
And do not gauge the heart pain
No measure cup exists
Life is here
And death is there
And throughout we persist
She who sobs into her pillow
He who beats his tight clenched fists
Silent screams on silent nights
And still
We lose the fight
Afloat on grief's swell waters
Souls bloody, flayed red raw
One light only guides the way
Wash up on
Empty shore

Ditto Tony, I am on here very rarely at the moment and unable to keep up with anyone. No recent tragedy. God bless you for caring and for your lovely comments. Your praise lifts my heart. â¤ď¸â¤ď¸
