I talk about the Fire in Lahaina and dealing with grief and suffering with love.

we grieve

the loss, the suffering, the pain

we grieve the death

if so many known and unknown names

 

we do what we can

and realize it’s not enough   

 

and so we grieve

 

with each breath we breathe

the smell of burning

brings fear and worry

and we pray 

 

we can not deny

as more heartbreaking news

brings a tear to our eyes

 

what is grieve

but love preservering

 

and love mixes that grief

with a sigh

hearts broken open wide

as we cry

and watch the smoke from the fires

fill the sky

.
