This poem is tragical yet comforting. It brings hope to the bereaved and was specially written for the September 11th incident in the states.


The Lost Ones



Amidst their struggle still to gain
Their tears have sunk for the suddenly slain
Sprinkled drops of warm red rain
The edge that stirs up a vast deep pain
Though our fragile hearts break again
They lie in our thoughts like a mild wild flame
Even as they return the way they came
Our minds were the graves they've always lain.
