Some losses seem to augur endless night, Years and years of darkness unrelieved. Mourning knows no morning, nor does pain, Peeling like a bell through windswept rain, As those who grieve have cause to be aggrieved. Take comfort, then, in hand-held candlelight, However dim or distantly perceived, Yet shining with what hope might hope regain. Copyright by Nicholas Gordon. Free for personal or non-commercial use.
