Thunderous Tragedy Poem by Richard Noggin

Wandering thoughts of confusion
Drifting throughout my mind
Wondering if life is coincidence
Or controlled by the divine

Scared to let go
But terrified to hang on
Coming close to the edge of reality
But holding on to my child-like mysticism

Wanting to escape your loss
But realizing that this mental excursion leads nowhere
My safe world collapsed
By thunderous tragedy

God please hear my prayers and
Hold me as I face the reality
That my child
Is not coming home.
