Sorrowful Cry

  Today I heard a sorrowful and mournful cry

today I mourned the life of a person I have never meet.

Today I learned that death may not be evil, but the pain it brings is.

  I journied past and heard a sobbing, it stopped me in my tracks.

Today I prayed for a woman I heard sobbing, at what could only be taken as sorrowful tears.

  I didn't stop to intrude, nor did I stop to be rude, I stopped because in that moment I knew I had to mourn, for her and for whom she lost.

  Today I heard a mournful song that someday we will all utter, and on those days, that song filters into my ears, I will morn again, for a person I have never meet, because today I mourned the loss of a piece of myself.

  Today I realised my life is just as fragile and short as the next, and I found myself wanting to apoligise for my intrusion, but did not wish to intrude further still so I remained where my feet caught themselves, tears about to break the damn, and so I held my tongue for words would have proved an egregious error.

  Today I mourned the life of a person I have not meet, and tomorrow I will morn again, thankful that I still walk this coil of stone and sand, and praying I get to breath and walk it again tomorrow.

Dark and dreary is the path ahead, now the musics playing in my head, I wish i had gone to bed for now Im lying here quite dead

[Daisy Morgy]

grieving and mourning a loss is always hard deep write!

[Christina May Shanaberg]

When we mourn any loss, we always mourn losing a piece of ourselves, too! A thought provoking write!! Too often, we tend to hurry by sad strangers, who could find such peace knowing that someone, anyone, cares!!!

Very emotional. Exceptional penning. The thoughts you share here, the compassion, it is so inspiring and hope-filled; to realize that we humans still have hearts we use. This poem shines.

[Kenneth The Poet]

Stirring, soulful and somber. Nice work.

[Ripple of Aqua]

The sadness of a loss and the heartfelt pang of the death is heart shattering. And then to add to it you put in the idea of realization; that there's nothing that can stop this thing called nature or death. Really eye opening.
