Call of Connecticut

this is a poem trying to capture some of the feelings of all those affected by the Connecticut shooting at Sandy Hook Elementary school. and in the end, calling for courage.

Cold kiss, pale hands-

              mind wondering to other lands 

Heavy feet and blurry eyes- 

               at their joys sudden demise 

...Carry on now- carry on 

                though the sun seems forever gone... 

Silent words, tight throat-

               Donning grief now like a coat 

Shaking knees, heart in pieces- 

                 Foreheads now made up of creases 

...Carry on now- carry on 

                     After darkness comes the dawn... 

Author's Note

Praying for all those who lost their loved ones. <3

Thank you so much. I am from Sandy Hook, CT, and I knew some of the victims of that day. This poem is beautiful, and it's very true- after the darkness of the tragedy here truly came a dawn of a new day.
