this was inspired by the scenes over t.v., where out of the rubble, I viewed two people walking toward the video camera, a splash of colors in the center of all the gray surrounding them...though the gray was making an attempt to cover their promise of vibrant life prevailing, it was only a dusting atop their heads and shoulders--it was as a promise, the rainbow's promise of hope of healing, even though very far away...the time it would take for the color of life to spread to cover the gray's circumference
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
crumbs
grit
paper snowflakes
ashes, ashes
it all fell down
piles of material
heaps of beings-
yet souls are freed from many
of humanities number
as bodies slumber
or weep away last tears

gray
engulfs the scene
rises higher and higher
after the spire
in the fire
disintegrated to little more
than remnants of what had been

yet
there
in the midst
of all the shades of gray
emerges a rainbow
of color
of hope
as lovers of life
dusted with gray powder
walk and labor
give their favor
to seek the lost
tossing gray away
ever slowly bringing color
to replace the grizzled scene
as tiny drips of promise
out of a rainbow’s vow of life
ascends
the destruction
beginning steps to renewal

today
even sick music
is a melody
for it means,
though nothing less has occurred,
there is nothing more
to add to the woe

also, a news commentator remark about the expanse of material reduced to dust and rubble that was once massive structures filled with 1000's of lives
