~Today...~ Today I found the anger lurking silent 'neath the grief mercilessly consuming me it offered up no relief Today the rage took over no longer did it hide Through tears I tried to hold it in yet it would not be denied Today I hurt my fellow man with misdirected ire My every word a dagger thrown yet peace was my desire Today I pray for guidance a pathway through the pain I pray my eyes will open to a rainbow after the rain ~vlraynes "...until you have read the verse on his heart, |

Sometimes the depth of the rage that we feel shocks us. It's all a part of the atrocity foisted upon us. Very well expressed, Vicky. |

I understand this poem so much. I am afraid, I found myself actually glaring at someone yesterday and caught myself, what was I doing? I think we go through stages in something like this Vicky, and after wanting to know all the facts, and there is still no answer, anger and fear set in. I know this one well, and thank you for writing it as a reminder to stop the anger. ~* If you want a rainbow, sometimes you just have to put up with a little rain *~ |

This is a sort of shell shock wave. That we all will feel. But I admire you for taking responsibility for it and calling it by name. It's a real emotion just like the rest. But I know I am guilty too of feeling harshly, when I should count to ten, or walk, or breath, or get drunk...no, but you get the meaning. You are still lovely and peace will come! Sincerely, Regina |

I guess most of us are feeling what you are right now. It's the next phase beyond shock and disbelief I think and the terrible sadness. Betty Lou Hebert |
