Death and Grief

Death creeps quietly in often taking by surprise one last gasp of air leaving behind pain sadness, sorrow and such loss emptiness of heart days pass by in grief each becomes full of torment as one struggles on no light just darkness no end is yet to be found time they say will heal for them left behind no peace, just grief smothering icy heart with blackness written 9/16/2013 contest Grief

I only hope and pray is just a poem, if not, then it is tragic but death is not the end it is just a temporal separation that the departed to an other land flies but never dies! Sorrowful poem expressing the human agony and depicting the suffering of mortals left behind! God bless you my dear!
