Agony Poem by Licio Marfisi

Grudges against her I hold none
Supreme Guru, revered teacher
Good times and lessons remain
Grief that cannot be fathomed

A severed bond, a broken tie
Supress not pain
Feel it, be it, face it
Ephemeral in nature
Time marching on inexorably
Lessen it will

Most intense of experiences
Immense void-incomparable plight-agony
Invaluable lessons emerged
A better man I became

Glimpse at the ordeal, re-visit the affliction
Ethereal force that molds me
My mind and heart God transformed.
