The deed half-done now
Money changers changing locks
Keys with no future.

Silver coins FedExed
Turning backs on a lifetime
Pilate hand-washing.

Magic sold for gold
Cashing in their legacy
We are all Judas.

All these years later
Ignoring the ties that bind
Mom would not be proud.

It's a fool's errand
Breaking all into pieces
Just to keep the peace.

Those who forced the change
Failing to aid the effort
Leave that to others.

Taking the slow march to the
Inevitable

The cause of a blaze in Johannesburg
Took at least seventy-three lives in a twirl
It's under investigation
And tragic reprecussion
Mourners can only shed tears and hurl

A rare super gathering of three Orca clans in Tokatae's home waters occurred the day she died.
Animals including humans often sense when a loved one has passed, even across time and space.
Orca's can live into their hundreds. It's more than likely some of those who knew her from birth, are still alive.
Local tribes are holding vigils for her, and there are vigils on Whidby Island and Seattle

I miss @deathbyhibachi on the site formerly known as Twitter dot com
To a small life so suddenly gone,
A short journey too soon done.
We can only imagine
The tragedy of this loss,
Though its causes will forever be lost.
We mourn a life snuffed out too soon,
Hopes and dreams still in bloom.
We can only grieve and pay our respects,
For the child who never made it to Chicago's steps.

Mourning and trial now
Lives touched by tragic events
Thoughts in disarray

From Two Years Before the Mast, by Richard Henry Dana, Jr.:
Death is at all times solemn, but never so much so as at sea. A man dies on shore; his body remains with his friends, and "the mourners go about the streets;" but when a man falls overboard at sea and is lost, there is a suddenness in the event, and a difficulty in realizing it, which give to it an air of awful mystery.

Sometimes I remember that it's been a while since there was a post by xyz content creator. I usually assume I just scrolled past them mindlessly. Most time it turns out life got in the way for some time: there was a work deadline, a move to a new place, a healthcare event, family issues. Sometimes I learn months late that a kind stranger I loved very much had died and I cry over my phone. This is one of those times. RIP Ashley.

Torrential, deadly
Floods and landslides claiming victims

@haldecraft Oh I wasn't triggered about this toot, but I usually am with dedicated toots. Maybe I can filter the hashtags #grief and #mourning.
We celebrate your life now, gone
Yet remembered in our song
Your spirit lives on in all
For whom you stood tall
Our hearts now mourn for you and what could have been
