THE BELL DID TOLL

The eyes of many will not see.
This mind that is lost in darkness
and
filled with an all consuming loneliness.
A mind filled with terrifying demons-
This mind.... lost.

The bell did toll on that April morn.
Thirty-three times it did ring...
Ringing out a dirge for all to hear-
We raised our heads not knowing why
Fear and anguish spread its wings
and
the shadow of death
road the currents of the wild wind,
The blood spilled upon the ground
and
the darkened earth did weep.
For there was no mercy
No place to hide.
An angel looked down upon this scene-
dipped his wings
and
carried each soul to a better place.
We bow our heads
Saying a silent prayer for the many who have
lost their lives.
A prayer-

The day
The bell did toll thirty-three times.

Love
Bonnie

*sigh*

And it was a horrible tolling that will reverberate for a long time to come~

Just guess I'm wishing that as long as the sicko was going to take his own life in the end anyhow ... (so freaking cowardly) ... that it's too bad he didn't START with his own self first !!!

*Huglets* to you~

It's difficult to find words in such tragic situations, you found them and they are very poignant.

Love,

Thank you everyone for reading. I was at work when these words came to mind. On a scrap of paper so I would remember when I got home.
Thank you once again.
