Tell Me How to Express My Sorrow To This Beloved Family...

Speechless - my mouth is loaded with words
Who want to come out simultaneously
I am mumbling and stuttering intermittenltly
The words are shreading and grinding my heart
With the sharp blades of its samurai swords.

I am literally being taking apart
By the sorrow that this family is experiencing
Death is never an invited neighbor
Death is always an unwelcome visitor
Death comes like a bang
Like an earthquake, like a tsunami
Like a raging cyclone that shutters all dreams instantly.

I still do not know how to console
My friends living under this sad cloud
Sorry is neither potent nor loud
Enough to convey my heart-felt message
No one can tell me how to reach the stage
Where I can feel comfortable on top of this slimy pole.

Stunned - the words will not come out of my mouth
Only tears and sobbing can expreess the feelings
Of my helplesness - I can feel the painful stings
Which are thorning the fibers of my veins
Oh! God, help me fly south
Where there is no sadness and no pains.
