Another Day

pale pink is the pre-dawn sky "pink sky in mourning..." today will be a pre-proceeding - for some it will be the same for some it will purvey monumental, tsunamic, quaking, flashing innocence as a muffled buzzing and pounding followed by eerie stony silence enveloping the sun FLASH! - what you knew you knew is gone flash of white to yellow to red to black billowing dread washes over as waves upon waves cover all good of the world and flotsam of teared memories float in mind and vision from past treasures dangerous are those loving thoughts unarmed without any weapons of indifference vulnerable to the suffering and anguish to stagger about befuddled and weeping singularly, communally the onlookers look on and piles of cairned candles and trinkets appear out of nowhere, everywhere feeble attempts to express hurt and good - no good will come - yet - in time - in time - time scabs over the wounded the blood-letting stops, tears wither and night follows this immemorable day that we always remember, eons from now as if it were last hour that i noticed the time, where did it go?, when will it stop? © Goode Guy 2012-12-17 http://www.npr.org/2012/12/17/167427982/afghanistan-bomb http://www.npr.org/blogs/thetwo-way/2012/12/14/167248541/developing-shooting-at-elementary-school-in-newtown-conn http://www.npr.org/2012/12/04/166519628/at-least-13-syrian-children-killed-in-mortar-attack
