The Darkness of His Loss Where No Light Shines
The Darkness of His Loss Where No Light Shines
Yes I cursed and complained at life's little things
that seemed so important at the time.
But now I know all is not as it seems
in the overwhelming darkness where no sun shines
As I struggled to make sense of your loss,
I rebel at trivia and don't give a drain
for the mundane, complaining dross
of those who do not share my pain
In the darkness where no sun shines
I struggle with the yearning as I pine
for your smile and company as we might
meet often in the local and share a pint
God moves in mysterious ways they say.
But he never answered my plea as I prayed
to show some sign and give you light
And hope from the continuous oppressive night.
The stomach-churning grief and pain,
the unbelievable reality of your death,
the long sleepless nights as I in vain
seek answers with quickening breath
I ask why? What is this life all about?
Why have I lost you I demand and shout?
"He was a good man who gave and did not take
He did not deserve his fearsome fate"
You were loving, intelligent, considerate too
A man of the world, that all few knew,
struggled with depression, an anxious plight
which you fought vainly a desperate fight.
And now you are gone and no longer mine
I am left with the darkness where no sun shines
Until I found others who share similar lament,
They offered me a shoulder on which I leant.
Slowly I find hope as I see others who mourn
They show me a way to a new brighter dawn
An escape from the repressive time
From darkness of his loss where no sun shines.
Michael
