- Blood - Tears - Death -

I heard angels singing about peace Silence in this room only a dim light Is it just a dream of freedom and peace Breaking down the lie build up the truth I'm in doubt .... do I hear angel song Give me an answer, take away my doubt Feeling a little turbulence and bit scared The song is mighty they are singing about peace Silence comes and the dim light is gone There is too much injustice, bombs and war I feel so tired, small and ashamed You are like me and I am like you I hear no angels singing any more Only Blood, Tears and Death * Boston bombing in April 2013 20.04.2013 A-L Andresen :)

I have a brother-in-law in the army and it just made me think of him immediately. He comes home to tell us of his tales. Thank you for the read and the memory.

Anne~ I remember feeling so low when the bombing happened. And there were no words for me, but you did a wonderful job exploring this...a truly wonderful piece!

I love this poem. Just because we cannot hear the angels soft melody over the wretched deafening screech of evil does not mean they are not trying to sing to us.

You prompted me to read this now... it gave me goosebumps-- beautiful expression of how it feels when we just don't understand-- the reason. I guess we really don't have all the answers--one day we will.

You described the despair that came with the incident quite well in your chosen words. That was an infamous occurrence.

Wow, this was deep. This poem just comes to show how big we really are. Your voice is heard by many that feel the same exact way, Anne! I know how it is to feel small and unheard. This is a very intense poem filled with love and emotion. There is so much good in the world too. Hope the bright side comes your way! Always, Laura

Anne Lise...this is so beautifully written. We want peace, but things seem to go from bad to worse. Religion, ideologies, culture and color can only bring separation if we let it. This poured out from your heart...we all felt it. One step towards peace, my dear! Hugs!

I enjoyed this Anne, some very deep and thoughtful metaphors with the use of light and dark, ( Ying / Yang), in your poem.Where there's light there is hope.
