Hurting - September 26, 2000

In the face of unbearable loss,
what do you say to another?
How do you listen to the whispers
of sympathy,
when you want to howl at your pain?

Where does the pain end
and memories begin?
As the world staunchly marches on,
our lives spin out of control,
and our hearts
reel from the hurt
that lays beyond
the next bend.
