The News is everywhere
And yes I really do care,
Since we knew people that were there.
I just watch the TV
As I sip my morning coffee
Wondering if the something wrong with me.
I don’t have fears
Of terrorist these last years,
There just isn’t any left over tears.
I’ve had to let you go
You’re the inner light I know
The brightness casting the shadow.
I remember your living
The shared life with your being
The source of light, hope and giving.

Seems death is too often the memory we hold over of events, especially today the anniversary of a major tragedy in the history of the United States. Where it is easy to focus on the darkness of the events I am learning it’s the light or the life that the people cast into the shadows we should look too.

Yes...what else are we to do? Otherwise, the quagmire takes over. Thank you for your thoughts.

I was in that quagmire for a while and had to pull myself out of it for others. (this is a new poem Ive still lots of the old ones showing about the pain)
