Notes About The Poem

A Loss of Innocent Life

A loss of 
            innocent life.
                Tragic;
          a searing pain...
     that hollows the soul.
           A dark cloud;
               anguish
              lingering.
                A stain
            so stubborn,
              unfading
         A family mourns;
    a lifetime worth of grief
                 And...
  no balm soothes the pain!


              (Yalto)

Panagiota Romios October 2, 2019 at 7:55 AM God has His plans. We can learn and from loss of innocents. There was a fire in a Catholic school years ago, many lives lost. My cousin ran in and out of the building trying to rescue all he Could. A moving poem....wow... Edward Ibeh October 2, 2019 at 8:52 AM Thanks for the lovely visit and comments, Panagiota:-)
