Grief lyrics

There are no known words

None to take away the pain

Not even in upmost sincerity

Bereavement goes its course

As though an abandoned ship

Upon a silent ceaseless sea

It drifts on unguided perilously

Toward rocks rugged, unlit

The sting of lost inconsolable

Is a manifestation of caring

A life endeared journeying on

Now progressing far beyond us

They say time heals all wounds

But the truth is more inhumane

Its intensity will return at times

To reopen the emptiness within

Each of us has a bound destiny

That will be fulfilled in a time

The void opens and closes so

With each breath and heart beat

Only caring and sharing given

Will again find purpose known

That words cannot alone mend

So that the sun can shine again

All lives are filled with dramas

Between comedy and tragedy

We must all carry one another

For in the end, we are all alone
