What can I say to a man,
Who is to lose something,
In a way he cannot control.
What manmade words,
Can I articulate,
That will put his soul at peace?
If life itself takes,
What it pleases,
In an instant.
Without regard
Or mercy
For anyone.
What can I create,
To fill his heart,
With relief?
How could I,
Fill a vessel with peace,
Knowing full fucking well,
As a human,
I suffer the same condition.
To gain,
Is to lose,
Regardless of the outcome.
We will all be gone,
In moments,
Taken by the wind.
And so,
What can I say?
If as he does,
I suffer the same.
