On this day two years ago (and one day), a tragedy happened just about five miles away from where I live, in Littleton Colorado, where a school shooting occurred and 14 people were killed and more were wounded. I cried weeks on after that happened, a friend of mine had a friend who was shot in the incident too. My heart cries out to all the people who represent the beautiful Columbine High School, and here’s a special poem dedicated to everyone who makes this place possible, to keep strong and continue to share their love…

Columbine
By: Noah Eaton
4/20/01

Columbine
Lacen spurs strumming in the daylight
Pontificating the spirit of peace in the nighttime
Grace of love divine

Travesty
Patters pools of azure will
Lavender commingle of greed
Frosting upon innocent pastel sepals

Injustice
Bleeding into the calyx of unified love
Breaking soft hearts in self-affliction
How despair can spread so rough

Sorrow
Ice on the shoulders of the winter
Wounded hearts slowly healing in many tomorrows
Leaves remaining of faint blister

Rise
To the light of God, for the spring has come again
After the rain subsides
Let our blessings outnumber the splinters, may doth wounds mend

Love
This breath of fresh air, life’s immortal wimple
To shine into your colorful heart, budding only more courageous buds
We the butterfly singing thee psalms of faith, whispers of the faithful

Columbine
May my love help you grow on
Stretch your roots out now, kiss the robin egg skies
Flowers may bleed, but their love and hearts are never gone…

this poem is quite beautiful.

I have the belief that Columbine will flourish with a birth of new light after the travesty that occured two years ago yesterday. I've lost friendships due to death as well.. Stay strong Mistletoe Angel

Love is God. Love is war. Love is what your life is for.
