Many of us lost a dear young person today in a tragic accident. Dedicated to her…she was beautiful inside and out.
Hope shriveled and distraught
Staring
Gaping hole devouring a sunny day
Helpless surrender to a cruel joke
Heart of beauty stolen to fuel the sun above
Infectious grief seeks to be expelled
Cascading waters from sadness flow
Wash away confusion of tragedy
In death’s revolt
Left only with a memory of her sunshine
Her smile lights the darkness of hollow despair
No fight to win
Understanding with faith
Love gathers beneath the clouds
Praise the entrance through heavenly gates
With tears of years
Her hand no longer to hold
Forced to accept a plan not our own
Make peace my friends
With a thief
Unfairness cannot be explained
