closing my eyes I reach out for a hand feel warm fingers clasp my own together we share a peace a serenity blooming from seeds of terror sown smoke and dust swirl madly around through in and we cannot see we feel the beat of frightened hearts shaking with uncertainty and when the time passes and the dust settles around us we stand together proud strangers no longer now friends and fellow Americans |

all too true, but for this i have to post a reply in verse, so tonight i guess i'm going to have to post twice... you have inspired me (let the reader beware, i have a more cynical bent than you might expect) but regardless of my incessant devil's advocatism, this is clearly deeply felt, and written in a way that conveys emotions even to those who don't share them. well done. -Napalm I Love The Smell Of Napalm In The AM! |

I certainly hope this is a feeling that lasts, and if it doesn't last for all people, I pray that we will all remember what good did come in uniting.  I love this, Sharon. It makes me remember what wonderful gifts humans are to each other when they realize their potential. Sometimes the heart needs the solace of solitude and silence. |

This is wonderfully YOU---and that second verse could be my epitaph..grin... and yes, I can feel the healing begin. (Why do I always get itchy when I heal...hmmm...smile and wink!) You have written a sense of peace, here Sharon! |

Something good comes every bad thing, as you so eloquently stated it, Ms. DeVine. Have you noticed that our politicians are more interested now in getting work done instead of getting reelcted? Thank God for that. |

Sharon, I feel that somehow, love will win the fight. In the country turmoil, and in my own as well. I hope its not a hopeless hope. Sandra |
