Time of Mourning

This
Is a time
Of mourning

A time
For feeling
Loss
 
The loss of people

All they were

All they would have been
All they will not now
Have the chance
To be

The loss

Of a false
Sense of safety
 
The loss
Of the world
As we wanted it
To be
 
So much simpler
To blame
Than to feel

But today please

Let’s not
Blame
 
Today please
Let’s be still
And feel
Our unspeakable losses

Our individual life changing losses

Our collective world changing losses

Let us feel them
Let us mourn them
 
And someday

Let us heal from them
