Lament

Damon Harding/ December 20, 2020

Lament, hurting, raw and real

Lament for all that is lost
For cherished dreams, unfulfilled
For love that was and is no longer
For loved ones who have gone before
For happiness past
For silenced laughter
For unsung melodies and harmonies
For empty chairs and tables
Which echo happier times
For longed for embraces

Lament, with wailing, with tears, with passion
Surrender in the beauty of lament
For in dreams set free, in love released
In memories and laughter relived
In yielding to the giver
With grieving tears, with anger, with frustration, with confusion, with weariness
In yielding all that has been given, loved and lost
It lives eternally for us to cherish
