Shaken but not down
==================================
Pale souls seek personal caves,
for today is the day of sun.
A Saturday crowd is on their
way to shake off a memory.
They have come home early.
Now at the parks, paths, malls, movies
and wherever their family
has asked they are playing. With the kids.
With the life. With the thoughts. With the
locks of their love. Now they know how
transitory life is.  Specially
as the sound of the Friday bomb
is still ringing in the country.

A powerful reminder, dear Ku!

It's both, the need to escape the horrors and the awareness of beauty to be savored in every precious instant of life.

Love,
Margherita

Again, many, many layers of intricate thought . . . I love it all.  The title is of particular interest to me - my interpretation of it is "sensitive and compassionate and afraid - but strong and determined".  

May that day of the sun caress all those hurt in body and/or soul, by that fateful blast - and may people all over the world stop harming their own.
