GRIEF BE BRIEF

When sadness
shears the heart
we must share grief
but let it be brief

suffering extends
unless pain
you curtain

so shed a tear or two
as and when you wish to

then move on
as one day
we too will be gone
as the next wind
like a hurricane
comes along

take not to heart
the sadness
we all are part
of the same coin

birth and death
are the verse and obverse
of one and the same
all now know it

in such moments
one's family do join
remember good
memory
which gave all
maximum glory

be glad one walked this way
as we also will go away
some day
one day
if not today
