Poem

Our children arrive like the floating cloud

appearing in our lives from nothing save our love;

Death is the silent wind that carries the cloud from the sky;

Where cloud and wind leave no trace,

your lives leave a shredded gaping tear in our skies that lets in a flood of tears;

There is no justice; this pain just is.

So, let the tears rain;

Smear mud on our faces;

There is no god,

just life and its graces,

death and its traces.

There is no justice; this rain just is.

Arriving empty-handed, departing empty-handed – this is human;

Greeting new life open-hearted and filling new hearts with love – this too is human;

But, coming empty-handed and going empty-hearted – this is your tragedy, our darlings;

So empty our human hearts, into these graves, depart;

There is no justice; this tragedy just is.

Finn, our pain came like a cloud too,

Appearing when we learned of your broken heart;

When we learned that we would never fill your heart with our love;

Now let the winds of time take this pain from us;

Let them soothe us as they usher you from our sky;

Let us love you both now, only in our dreams, and in our waking hours;

There is no justice; this love just is.
