Lament

 

Lament to me is more than sadness, more than loss, more than pain, more than emptiness, it has a power and and a sense of truth and rightness, of love in a fire of expression. All mingle together in a powerful way to enable an outpouring of feeling that encompasses the greatness of  these. It may feel unquenchable, yet it is a necessary part of honouring those we have loved and lost to death, whose lives no longer bless our world, yet whose spirits live on in so many echoes from the past.
