Aftermath

Before and after
Sounds of strange laughter


Children running wild
Certainly not mild


Sun streams dazzle bright
Come into the light


Glee and frolic style
Cheery and worthwhile


Silver lines in clouds
Etch tints softly loud


Sense miracle grip
A vibrant fond trip


Dream upon a dream
Dare the scary scheme


When all crossroads end
Look around the bend


Echoes call to you
Listen for wise cue


Enter the dark cave
Only death can save


Leave in a hurry
Bliss cannot tarry


Words fail as thoughts end
Enroute beyond trends


Aftermath seeds shock
No more lock and stock
