Sorrow

by Cheryl Merrick

The first disbelief and incomprehension,
     then the stunned shock
are washed away
     in a torrent of tears,
as reality settles heavily on the heart
     with a pain that wrenches the soul,
leaving an emptiness
    that will not be filled.

But we are not left without light,


     even in this darkest hour,
for hope stands faithfully by,
     lighting our way
and reassuring us
     of eternal promises.
