Inferno

A smoky inferno dimmed the sun
No language on Earth
Can capture the feeling
Of human life loss
Kind words anchor your heart
Your thoughts are with the Heavenly stars
The soul is trapped in silence.

Everyday we get saddened by the loss of people who are taken away unexpected. When we witness death and destruction on a daily basis, our souls get 'trapped' in silence. A very poignant write !

Thank you, Valsa. Yes, I was thinking of all friends back home, who lost recently their lives due to COVID. One becomes numb.
