Columbia Sky There was too much color in the morning a warning like flash of insight a piece of rainbow like a bridge across a contrail sky oh hear the quiet as the road in blue defuses and ignites this last hope of paper see it like dry leaves piece by piece lay to rest exhilaration into the tear in the opening where stars live |

The undertones are present, much like deep church bells, tolling... this is a wonderful depiction of life, everlasting... thank you. |

Coincidence is a strange concept, but that was a morning when I made my youngest turn off cartoons because I "needed" to watch the news for some reason. I had awakened earlier than planned, though much in need of sleep. He protested this change in his TV schedule, but lost the debate. Ten minutes later we knew there was a problem. That night, he came to me and asked how I knew ahead of time. I told him the truth, that I had a bad feeling but in fact did not know why. I tried several times to write about that Columbia morning, and I failed each time. You succeeded. Thank you for sharing this here. |

Lest we forget. Reading this brought back a shade of that original horror as I watched them going endlessly down. The feel of something being notright is so easy to dismiss...and then you learn why your mind wanted to dismiss, in order to delay learning what was about to happen. Horror that arrives so beautifully is all the more rending....and horror shown by a pen that almost always brings us beauty is just as strong. ~~(¸¸¸¸ºº> ~~(¸¸¸¸ºº> ~~(¸¸ ¸¸ºº> ~~~(¸¸ER¸¸ºº> |
