Aftermath
Names, faces, families
Everyone has a personal story
After the politics and the desperate search for answers
We are left with a list of names
And the loss of such beautiful faces
And the tears of wounded families
Our future cries out in the starkness of this senseless act
And all our love and memories respond in soulful echoes
Love is timeless and endures the pain
