a moment of silence (for Boston)

April 16, 2013
a poet's playground, evocative muse

the world turned upside down
bringing pain
that should not be endured


hearts
heavy
& confused

 

all
take a moment
of silence

 

hate & bitterness
shall not take hold

 

for strength
is our calling
to be the crutch
for the fallen
to be the cradle
they lay upon
to be the song
that survives
in everyone’s heart

 

we are the
………….champions
we are
the victors
…………..the defenders
…………………..the guardians

 

for strength
is our calling

 

in a peaceful moment
of silence

 

we will
………..hug
we will
…………love
