Tears of loss flow incessantly down wet cheeks

Washing away the last vestiges of old discord

Ablutions of the soul done with pure water

Of genuine raining sentiments of grief

Baptising it afore it embarks on afterlife

At this moment  of inconsolable sorrow

All the wrongs and anger are forgotten

Only memories of togetherness and shared bliss shimmer

As fleeting scenarios blurred and faded by time

Afore the eyes that mourn the loss with echoing sobs

Whether an end to a trail of sufferings

To a saga of pain and endurance

Or a sudden whimsical stroke of fate

Like the string of a kite snapped, a candle blown

Pain of the loss is just as intense

Hope flares in the heart as an eternal flame

Lives and encourages till the last drawn breath

And with the solace of hope lost the pain is intolerable

A life lost to the mortal world is immortalised

Living in minds through words and deeds

As personal treasured memoirs in the soul’s archive

Liberated from shacklesof pain and grief

It attains eternal tranquility and bliss

Like a sunflower basking in the golden sunlight

And moths besottedly dancing in moonlight

Honey bees drinking nectarine ambrosia from floral veins

Fireflies dancing in the silent balmy night

Like contellations in motion, sailing in the dark

They are gone farfar away beyond human grasp

But their faces are reflected amid the carnival of stars

As cherubs smiling benignly amongst angels..
