Now, the Touch It let me be, The touch of Loss, and loss Was what I felt, And in the melt I lost the me ~ The what I was, That what, I be… Voices, heard, And voices, felt, My god, I knew, I was this melt! I lost that fate, One whole of me, I felt hot stream, Tranquility… “Oh God,” Their voices streamed untrue, “Mom, MOM, please!” Then, this glue That once was me Was now undone And only God, and Please, his Son Were the only Voices heard, And yet assured, Now came One Word… Do not hesitate This your love And never, please, Leave this worth For I once walked And walked alone This lovely piece, This piece of earth… But Peace was all Yes, ALL, I heard This Lovely Peace of Earth! Then lonely I, Yes lonely be For not I, Of little worth, Wanted less, then Wanted, none, and none Was less than worth… Then lo, the Man held out his hand And LO! the miracle… He held me warm, Then tight and strong As then the spiracle He held me high, aloft and true And lo, no pedestal… Would ever hold this weight Of one, Nor could it hold the love…. For nothing could have held The loss Of one who left their soul… But HE who had a plan In mind Was HE who Gave the goal… ~*~ Now I, yes I, who ~ Shallow be, Though shallow shall Not be still; Then I, yes I, Who righteous be, Though righteous With some will; Well now I, yes I! Who sometimes be A cavalier of youth! Now comes a mirror Shining bright, reflecting GOD, this truth! Now yes, my heart, be stilled… Be stilled, that you shall Have it all, as all that It shall be… For it let me be, The touch of Loss, and loss Was what I felt, And in the melt I lost the me ~ The what I was, That what, I be… And if I be but once a dream Of yours now gone upon a stream I would you then remember well The loss that hears a brass green bell… (c) 4-29-03 KRJ |

This is scary. One man capable of this type of atrocity is totally unthinkable. This is what psychotropic drugs, and violent video games, and other forms of abuse can do to a human being, driving them do become dulled to humanity. I fear for our young people. Love the Lord your God with all your heart, and with all your soul,and with all your mind. Love your neighbor as yourself. |

Maureen, thank you. JL...they say he had symptoms of Aspergers. As the days unfold, and more is known, we will probably not only pray for those he took in the next realm, but for him as well. It is a very sad moment in our history. |

"we will probably not only pray for those he took in the next realm, but for him as well." Indeed, my friend... Your muse for this poem, I think was William Blake. I can see Blakes aura around this beautiful, heartfelt poem. Which was for me, a very good read. |

A beauty of form and song to lift the spirit and gift the soul and embrace the trembling heart, a poem is a sigh |

Loved your story poem with so much expression of sad and hope ~~~~ Instead of worrying about guns we need push for more and better understanding of mental health. Those poor souls have lived lives we would never really understand. jo |
