Breaking
So much sadness
I feel it
Heavy upon my heart
And it is not even mine to bear
But the world weeps
When buildings fall
And children cry out
For missing mothers
And fathers
And children
Harsh realities
Are flung back in faces
When momentary joys
Like sunlit days
Turn tragic
As a car turns the wrong way
And life is shattered
A solitary moment
A single bad decision
That can destroy too quickly
We are so fragile
I cannot stop from breaking

This resonates ... heavily. So difficult tuning into news, reading papers ... I am weary.
ReplyDeleteYes, and it hit too close to home this past week. It was too heartbreaking to watch the news.
