The Crushing Grief

The crushing grief when someone chooses death When life had shown much promise and much hope Turns the ones who loved to find new paths Some may sin, encouraged by cruel wrath Against the one who chose the wicked rope The shock of grief at such too early death Others freeze and cannot take a breath Scarcely moving as their mind elopes Making then impossible their path The mountains of deep grief I could not pass Until a warm gold light caressed my heart The wounds of grief , the sacrifice, the Mass Do not dwell in darkness and distress Follow me he murmured while we start I will help you find a different path The golden light had brought for me a chart The sea of life had ripples ,brilliant sparks The suffering and the grief from such a death Turned the one who loved onto this path.
