Loss Amplifies The Merit Of The Missed Poem by Alem Hailu Gabre Kristos

Loss Amplifies The Merit Of The Missed



A sudden power outage
Rams home
Light's advantage!

What exactly is meant
By inexorable grief,
Dawned on me
Off my guard
When you
Turned brief,
Setting my heart afire
With anguish
That knows not a relief!

What a dead or dump nose
That doesn't sense
Death hovers close!
That is why
Oblivious to facts on the ground
I stuck to'Forever together! '

Yet, happily
The Almighty lends
The bereaved power
To outgrow
Such a gloomy hour!
