Grieving Notre Dame

The world has been in tears of pain for this terrible loss, but to see the image of the iconic Golden Cross standing tall and seemingly undamaged, whilst surrounded with such debris and damage - it was truly a spiritual sight to behold - a message of hope dear Demetrios. With kindest thoughts Ann xx

It was a shocker; a painful one to see. Well penned.

So true, history in tears. Well expressed and shown Demetrios. So sad.

- A tragedy ... a history disappeared in flames - Many in tears all over the world - A great tribute - hugs // Anne-Lise :)

History and the present are both in tears my friend...thank you for remembering this damaged piece of art.

It is sad seeing history ruined, memory erased, humanity in tears... salute alkas.

I am pleased that the beautiful organ was left intact. It was a sad day and a reminder of how temporary things are in this world. The world made a collective gasp.

History in tears..an apt description of the tragedy..your poem speaks of the grief felt by many. Your poem is a tribute my friend.

A terrible tragedy Demetrios, surely experts should have realised that with all the wood used in its construction that it was a potential fire risk, hopefully an enquiry will establish the facts. I am grateful that apart from injuries sustained by a fire fighter no body lost their life. A news report has said the main structure escaped the worst and apart from the steeple and timbered roof it will be rebuilt in about five years. Tom
