Glimmers Of Hope


Gentle moonlight softly glistening
Leaving traces on the floors ...
Distant faces, silent listening,
Wandering through the corridors.

Rain is falling, victims calling,
Reaching out with photographs ...
No one questions, no one answers,
No one knows, and no one laughs.

Rescue workers, hidden lurkers
No where to be found within ...
Country aching, hearts are breaking,
No one knows where to begin.

Prayers are sent up toward Heaven
Hoping to find some relief ...
They are heard twenty-four seven
From a country filled with grief.

Candles burning, children learning
All about the death of men ...
In the union of our nation
Might we seek to live again?

In the moonlight silent reaching
Pillars strong in faith they stand ...
They are lifting Hopeful glimmers
From a dry and thirsty land.

Very good.  I like the slow rhythm of this as well as the sentiment.  Joyce

This is so good!  I can just see the flickering candle flames, the tear stained faces, in shadows cast by the moonlight as they hope against hope somewhere someone will say, "Just saw that person in your picture at the Armery trying to contact their loved ones to let them know they're alive."  Thank you and bless you, Bob.
