a snow falls upon us
blanching our being
in throes of starkness
silently we shiver
as crystallized tears
slice our eyes
icicles of
random fate
pierce our
hearts
shredding
the last strongholds
of youth blessed hope
draining reservoirs
of love into tepid
pools of blood
growing at our feet
our prayers fail
to keep the deadly
blizzards at bay
bearing this days
daily pestilence
ravaging the
fragile semblance
of our crumbling
humanity
what winds
bring this snow?
these terrible
clouds descending
upon us
drowns us in groaning
waves of desolation
with such startling
finality
for the children, teachers, parents and community of Newtown CT
