Lamentation


Lamentation
written May 25th, 2021

I want to weep
for all those lost

I rend my garments
for those without hope

I tear at my hair
for those in pain now

I bow my head
for those who will hurt
(which is all of us)

my lamentation sings out
so they know they are not alone

my words rise up
as my tears spill down
onto the page

let my tears - this lamentation
purchase a moment of relief from the gods
for the lost, without hope
hurting and in pain

the gift of one
deep sweet breath
filled with peace.

Presumptuous of me, but I would if I could, make this grief be worth something to someone.

Hi there Senfully! Wow you hit it out of the park again.

I really like the last stanza:

the gift of one
deep sweet breath
filled with peace.

Love the analogy of a breath filled with peace... and of course being sweet too!

*whispering into your ear* you are worth it all!

hugs my friend!
