Rain and tears

(Ter nagedachtenis aan de bijna 100 slachtoffers van afgelopen vrijdag in Oslo en Utoya)

Clouds are coming from the north

raining all night 

all day long

everything is gray

and colourless

every raindrop a tear

every cloud

a life stopped living

let us be silent

today

stop uttering 

useless words

let us think

and feel

deep from inside

remember

this days of grief

as a milestone

of things

that happened

never to be forgotten

let us cry

for all the families

missing a loved one

and try to feel

their pain

let us stay

open and silent

in the cathedral

of the open skies

let's never

ever

forget

their life

had a meaning

every question

has answers

but not right now

so let us

believe

look up on high

expect

and wait

and receive

everyday

we live

as a gift of love

from God

Life Itself

is grieving

with mankind

in these days

of sorrow

and bewilderment
