TEARS FOR A CHILD

June Marie Johnson

 

Gut wrenching emptiness, takes hold with icy,

grasping fingers,

'Why's' and if only's  swim in a cataclysmic

swirling of the mind, no answers, no logical

reasoning, is anywhere to find.

 

Only the howl of indescribable pain, screams

out from inside, as a mother tries to claw

back, the life of her child, that has just died.

 

As she kneels down on the roadway, holding

lifelessness to her breast, never, from that

time on, will she experience again, joy, peace

and rest.
