Virginia Tech
What words can even come close to being adequate?
life cut
at the very moment
of fullest blossoming
if only the memories
the pain of loss
would wither
and fade
as cut tulips
leaving space for new
blossoms
but a life cut
in youth
remains blood red
in our hearts
cutting anew
every day
sending anew
our shrieks of
why
why
dear god
why
ever heavenward
My prayers for the families and friends who have lost so much this week.
