For You Who Grieve Tonight
.
The day was long, the night will be endless
Emotionally spent the tears won't come
Its just the heart that continues to beat
The soul has nothing more to eat
.
But ashes; dust and ashes.Diamonds in the dust it may well be
Grief is an absolute entity
And living another form of tyranny
Speak of life and death, the details
Of what lies between birth and extinction
Rationality irks, cannot comfort the loss
Highflown theories until complete cessation
For those who grieve tonight, the pain
Almost too intense to bear:
Hearing, seeing, feeling their loss
And nobody, nobody with whom to share
The tears should come, do not check their flow
Tears can heal like a gentle loving hand
Calm the mind, ease the heart and
There is a lifetime ahead to understand.
Softly words will come
Someday grief will go
Forget the logical mind
Leave reason behind.
