It is a quiet night
After a tumultuous day

The river bubbles
The wind howls
A lonely train car whistles
In the distance

But my thoughts are elsewhere
I am mourning the passing
Of my little brothers grandfather

I can only imagine
His numbness
His weariness
His sorrow
Someone he held so dear
Is gone

A deep well of compassion
Opens within me
My heart goes out
To him
His family

This is for them
I can't do much
But love them.
