beyond the pain of cancer



the words so easy to speak
as an observer, outside
to try to assuage their pain
even if we believe this
their loved one,
taken from them
a cavity, a gaping wound
the only solace, the hope
that they are beyond the pain of cancer
drinking of the waters
in the gates of the Lord
but knowing too their pain
a life that will not be restored
