When death lands upon our shores
in early foggy morning
with sudden banging roars–
When death comes
and leaves a sight of blood and gore–
Who will sooth our hearts?
Who will make us soar?
Who will fill the hollow void?
Will we ever be the same?
Could we ever sing again?
Oh, how could we survive
this crushing
burning pain?

In memory of Kobe Bryant
Kira’s Art | Cry For You
A very moving and emotional piece.
Beautiful tribute for Kobe, Miss K!
Beautiful tribute to Kobe Kira. So very sad my heart goes out to all those families that were there with him.
Thank you my dear friends❤This hit so hard the collective pain burst the gates of Heaven where Kobe, Gigi and their friends now live. On Sundays, Asaf and I go for a walk at Crystal Cove, a nature preserve along the coast with stunning ocean views–just down the road from Kobe’s house. It was cold and very foggy that morning so we stayed home. I wish they did the same. I will carry them in my heart on our walks and send a prayer for their peaceful rest in the Garden above.
So emotionally laden…sad to the core. Beautifully done Kira❤
A question which is faced by everyone. Well expressed.
Kira Fulks … Powerful…sears through the soul… thank you for sharing… very well done!
