The day was long, the night will be endless <br />Emotionally spent the tears won't come <br />Its just the heart that continues to beat <br />The soul has nothing more to eat <br /> <br />But ashes; dust and ashes. <br />Diamonds in the dust it may well be <br />Grief is an absolute entity <br />And living another form of tyranny <br /> <br />Speak of life and death, the details <br />Of what lies between birth and extinction <br />Rationality irks, cannot comfort the loss <br />Highflown theories until complete cessation <br /> <br />For those who grieve tonight, the pain <br />Almost too intense to bear: <br />Hearing, seeing, feeling their loss <br />And nobody, nobody with whom to share <br /> <br />The tears should come, do not check their flow <br />Tears can heal like a gentle loving hand <br />Calm the mind, ease the heart and <br />There is a lifetime ahead to understand. <br /> <br />Softly words will come <br />Someday grief will go <br />Forget the logical mind <br />Leave reason behind. <br /> <br />Copyright: Rani Turton<br /><br />Rani Turton<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/for-you-who-grieve-tonight/
