Not the loss alone,

But what comes after.

If it ended completely

At loss, the rest

Wouldn't matter.

But you go on.

And the world also.

And words, words

In a poem or song:

Aren't they a stream

On which your feelings float?

Aren't they also

The banks of that stream

And you yourself the flowing?

~ Orr ~
