Sorrow

Gloomy clouds hover above
melancholy fill the damp air
saturated not with rain drops
but tears of close family and friends
mourning for the departed

Nevertheless,
tears evaporate
and so must grief
for life goes on
only memories remain
to mend each wound
in every broken heart

The passing away of 2 immediate relatives in a mere 3 days have proved to be a very difficult time, especially for the relatives on my father's side.

May the departed souls be relieved from suffering
May all family and friends be free from grief
and be well and happy
Sadhu. Sadhu. Sadhu.

Choppy,
Gloom
