Loss Over Poem by Mehta Hasmukh Amathaal

Loss over
Sunday,16th May 2021

She was motionless
I could read only worry lines
for the dead husband
she was bending and making cry with grief

I felt for her grief
and tried to give relief
by solacing
and advising

how could a person depart?
leaving behind in a cart a wife
with the burden of looking after,
small kids and entire family members!

it was an actual loss
it can never be replaced
as he was of immense help and inspiration
really a bond for human relation

what is there in life now?
borderless sea to swim and how?
my tears feel like shower drops
and remain non-stop

why in life so much sorrow?
that grow
when someone departs
and the downfall starts
