Moments

watch sunbeams play on water

with laughter in their eyes

remember little children

the ones that don’t survive

my arms reach out to hug them

too soon those moments gone

a cloud has drifted in the way

and blocked out all the sun

Such a graphic read both lovely and profoundly sad.

[jacob erin-cilberto]

the ones that don't surive were sunbeams and a very dark cloud passed over them and stalled.
So unfortunate when children get caught in the craziness adults cause and then leave us way too soon.
SUch a powerful write, Chris.

I love to watch the reflection of light on water whether it be sun or moon.
