The Pain of Loss, a poem.

 


Your pain, is my pain, is our pain

Your suffering, is my suffering, is our suffering 

Your grief, is my grief, is our grief 

Your loss is forever my loss, is forever our loss. 

Our tears will flow

Till the oceans are full and still they will weep.

This is the amount of honour due to you

To recognise all that you were,

all that you have been,

all that you will ever be to us.

Our tears cannot be assuaged

Your loveliness still echoes here.

Your love remains

And burns in our hearts,

Forever more than a memory.

May there be light and hope for them all. Amen

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.
