Awoke to horror blaring of the capture of souls And in the conscious heartbeat of a moment That terror of these faceless images flashed my heart Left to tears of mothers, brothers, sisters and loves And in that heartbeat diplomacy mattered not Nor did the reasons, none right…none wrong Only historical remembering, and the why of Geneva Left to tears of mothers, brothers, sisters and loves Without the thoughts of spring, or passion, or joy Only human…the savage and unbridled terror of war What can be done to salvage what destiny defies? Left to tears of mothers, brothers, sisters and loves And so, I called to my sons, all prime and yet safe Aware of their time, just to speak what they knew This courage, this hope and this warmest saving embrace Left to tears of mothers, brothers, sisters and loves Each write, part remembered for those that cannot Each prayer, said the fold of wings for protection Each poem, read the face of the future touched whole Left to tears of mothers, brothers, sisters and loves Copyright Kkh 3/24/03 |
