A Sonnet for E.K.

Life Untimely Taken

His Bud Barely in Bloom

This plan must be Mistaken

For he was Stolen away far too Soon

How we long to Wake from this Nightmare

So as to Escape from the Pain

To this Anguish, there is no Compare

The Suffocation this Grief is causing is Impossible to Abstain

The Intensity of Emotions is Stronger than Expected

The Tragedy of this Reality seems far from True

I did not know I’d be so Affected

 Veracity has definitely gone Askew

A Life Treasured and Desperately Missed

But Never forgotten, for within us all, his Spirit will Never fail to Persist
