Newtown
I can not console you,
you the Inconsolable,
you are there and I am here,
I can not be with you, any
or all
of you.

Your grief is as big as the ocean you live
near and you are now tossed on a churning pitch of
waves of emotion, a salty wave-wash that cannot cleanse this.

If I could wrap my arms around you,
in the the hope you would absorb what
strength, I had to give, but it would not
be enough if you have lost a daughter or
a son or a friend of someone, anyone.

But I would anyway.

I need to write this to let you know, that
NONE
of you are alone,
but the emptiness that lies around
your town your school your life
will make you feel like it.

PLEASE
find others find all who are going through this
cluster together, break bread, encourage, endure.

NO MORE
I do not know who can make the pain, your agony go away,
I can not tell you for certain it will ever go away
If I could make it go away, if it was right so to do.

I would, but I am human my flesh is weak.
My spirit cries out
Comforter Arrive Swiftly!

You deserve so much for your
  LOSS
Reach out to them
everyone.
My words seem hollow, even to me,
Forgive me
If this did not help.
Let it be because I am only one,
but
America, the World,
step close to a community
that needs
much.
Newtown.
East Coast West Coast
Canadians Americans
Matter not
But you do.
