Melanie C. Campos ~ MahTame

MOURNING

What solace can thou give me?
What embracement thou have?
My sorrow lies deeply within the cracks and crevices of my soul
Even I cannot reach nor comfort what is mourning within my inner being…
The things we each experience or meet in life,
The unforeseen occurrences that befall at times,
The things that bring tremendous sadness
with loss of loved ones through our greatest enemy death,
Or from the things that have caused great pain,
from traumas,
from divorce or separations…
Seeing the atrocities of life,
the pain it brings to children,
families,
the innocence lost to abuse and cruelties,
the dying or suffering from diseases and illness,
Hearing the sounds of mourning and crying echoing throughout mother earth,
Tasting the ugly, bitter hatred among mankind,
Feeling all the hurts…
Who can count the losses?
Who can collect my tears and release them into everlasting freedom?
Who dares to hold me and quiet my fears?
Soothe my pain?
Who can withstand my sorrow and console my cries?
Please release me to the wind and the sea,
For they flow freely forever…
