Untimely

To walk away from love
is to bereave,
to bring an ill-timed death:
An infant born after he died
who was never able to see the light
or take his first breath
and was never given a chance for life;
death of a  child,
a teenage suicide
precluding maturity and to live full life;
a hasty death in the time of prime
with broken promises of many years ahead
while children are still young
- there are no answers, no explanations why...

There are no words to convey
the anguish and sorrow
of those who love,
who are left behind to accept and understand
The Incomprehensible. 

They are left to grieve their losses
with the same bewilderment
in their eyes:
In the aftermath 
of an untimely death
or of their lovers fear of  love...

Eterne,
