we entered on a high,
and took a
roller coaster ride,
shock, hope,
disbelief,
questions tumbling
around our minds,
pain, regret,
horror,
shock, despair,
disbelief,
then sorrow
deeper than
any other sorrow
ever known,
and silence,
black silence...
+
terror, grief,
anguish,
bleak despair...
+
caution,
feet running with
terrified joy,
hearts pounding,
questions falling like hail stones
from the sky,
bouncing from the ground,
insisting to be heard,
hope, timid, and slow,
mustard seed hope,
explosions of joy,
sight, touch,
growing belief
and questions...
+
what now, what next
everything has
changed...
for now we wait
with more questions
and there is silence...
