For Them, Newtown Children
They stand holding hands together on the seashore, alone yet surrounded
Hearts ablaze within their small frame bodies, no longer beating, no more love
Amidst dull eyes of confusion they smile, captivated by the glow, mist and rain
The horror before has now been granted no attention and the only matter of the life that was blows mysteriously in the rain
Toes pointed outward toward the edge of the seashore
A rainy day of red water comes to an end where the Sun chooses to shine forth,
Through shadows, Through classrooms, Through doors, and principle thoughts that eagerly await Justice
They were once, in the rain
Feeling the rain
