Re: Nautikos
Oh, bingo, Naut! So true. The sound of silence. Not only that, but silence is often the case with responses to pain and grief; hence the genesis of this poem. Silence, and a presence perhaps; a hug. Those things I remember when I lost each parent. 'Lost,' an odd word choice, like I could find them... Thank you.

There is pain and grief that cannot be adequarely expressed in words - there can only be silence...

Re: Re: Re: TAPS
Oh, dear TAPS, my heart is breaking for you and your family. Such devastmating pain leaves one in shock and wordless. When tragedy strikes, it seems we are tested to our limits. I pray for peace and strength for you and your family. So very sorry. Not again.

Re: BC-A
It's wonderful that you have your background experience, being a grief counselor is difficult. I do have several friends who are grief counselors. Please understand, this is not about me personally. This was written after watching people being interviewed on TV one particular evening when there were multiple shooting incidents in the Los Angeles area, and they all touched me at that moment. Thank you, Bill.

Re: BC
I'm sorry you have known this deepest pain. I think none of us get out of life without experiencing it, to some degree at least. I hope things are better now for you, or are on the way to being better.

Re: Dear Ab
What a horrid incident to have happened, and a tragedy. It must have been awful to watch, li'l bro, and I'm sorry it affected you so deeply. That is a coincidence, indeed, about posting poems after viewing television. I will visit your post and your poem soon.

I am sorry for your pain, TAPS. I'm glad you have come through it to the point of remembering the good times and the love.

diamond dry, excellent. Once, having been pre-theological, and am listed in alumni directory of the Lutheran denomination's alumni book, transferring to the colleges where i earned degrees and certificates. Can provide more information. Anyhow, I've always been interested in grief, and experienced it plenty of times love.

Dear Presta sis
What coincidence, sis Presta. We are on the same page. Three days ago the head of a so-called religious outfit in Haryana state, was given the verdict by the high court judges that its leader, Ram Rahim, was indeed the rapist of two sadhwis, female followers in his ashram, in 2002. A hundred thousand of his followers ransacked vehicles, burnt govt. buildings, maimed and in the melee killed thirty innocent people, injuring 500 others. It was a gruesome sight on the TV of complete mayhem in Panchkula. I was so grief-stricken that this poem was the result.

I have experienced that grief. Though it never goes away, the pain eventually is tempered with wonderful memories and never ending love.
