[tri-wings] Our lost treasure

A death has occurred
and everything has changed
by this event.
We are painfully aware
that life
can never be the same again,
that yesterday is over,
that relationships once rich
have ended.
But there is another way
to look upon this truth:
If life went on the same without the presence of
the one who has died,
we could only conclude
that the life we here remember
made no contribution,
filled no space,
meant nothing.
The fact that this individual
left behind a place
that cannot be filled
is a high tribute
to this person.
Life can be the same
after a trinket
has been lost,
but never after the loss of a treasure.
