DESOLATION

this day of emptiness
confusion and longing
his agony turned our own
no longer to hear his voice
feel his touch
follow his step
where has love gone?

he was our Life
our hope
our light
our answer
and now we are lost
who are we now?

my heart on fire with grief
who will console me
there are no words for this
my sorrow
to see him broken
bleeding
i cry my God
why have you forsaken me

this day
this Life without Him
i cannot bear
day of poverty
when i am nothing
i have nothing
filled with the emptiness
for I have seen all Love
and now he is gone

wrapped in his tomb
embraced in darkness
i have died with him
no light
no thought of life
