 Columbine By: Noah Eaton 4/20/01  Columbine Lacen spurs strumming in the daylight Pontificating the spirit of peace in the nighttime Grace of love divine Travesty Patters pools of azure will Lavender commingle of greed Frosting upon innocent pastel sepals Injustice Bleeding into the calyx of unified love Breaking soft hearts in self-affliction How despair can spread so rough  Sorrow Ice on the shoulders of the winter Wounded hearts slowly healing in many tomorrows Leaves remaining of faint blister Rise To the light of God, for the spring has come again After the rain subsides Let our blessings outnumber the splinters, may doth wounds mend Love This breath of fresh air, life’s immortal wimple To shine into your colorful heart, budding only more courageous buds We the butterfly singing thee psalms of faith, whispers of the faithful Columbine How your blue eyes sting with purple tears Stretch your roots out now, kiss the lapis luzuli skies Flowers may bleed, but no need to fear… There will be seasons between seasons… There will be seasons between seasons… There will be seasons between seasons…   And that's the most wonderful thing about creating. It will always be a mystery. ***Shakira*** [This message has been edited by Mistletoe Angel (04-24-2003 05:02 PM).] |

This will happen as the unity of families breaks down...a good reason to have a close and loving family...unfortunately not always possible and oftentimes out of the control of the children...James |

Very inspiring piece, We should never forget the wrongs in the world. We need to come together in our families keep the children safe. Guns never help being so prominant in society. It is sad to think that many of us think this is the answer. Julie |

Hi Noah ... how well I remember this tragic day; like it was yesterday. "Wounded hearts slowly healing in many tomorrows" "Rise To the light of God, for the spring has come again After the rain subsides Let our blessings outnumber the splinters, may doth wounds mend" Such beautiful and touching words. The whole piece brought tears for the sorrow and smiles for the healing. When this shooting took place, I went out and bought columbine plants for my garden, as a reminder always of those whose lives were taken and those who mercifully were spared. God bless you for writing this Noah. Hugs and luvs, Marti  |

I am in Littleton twice weekly, for my daughter's horseback riding lessons. It's impossible to pass the high school without remembering this tragedy. Yet forward-moving healing thoughts must prevail, and we must always focus on the many positive events that take place daily in this beautiful community. You have written a tender piece of remembrance, Noah. [This message has been edited by Midnitesun (04-25-2003 11:17 AM).] |
