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.
