Grief Commands

Grief commands the heart making tears flow Forcing surrender to ruthless whirlpool of despair With days bleak and each minute full of sorrow. Memories of you, so vivid, are all that remain While you rest grave deep silent and coffin dead Lost to sight and sound, breaking the heart asunder. Death, sly, ruthless came calling unexpected Changing lives forever, switching off the light. Now, only darkness without joy or laughter Without you my soul has lost its warmth and glow. Kneeling at your grave I hear a desperate scream Piercing, and coming from deep within my soul, Overwhelming, I cry out against your death My scream only God in Heaven can also hear.
