the winds that will be howling at all hours
along with the tears grief blood and mayhem
memories that will never leave us
it was something that we could never envisage
our innocence now lost
so many came here to escape
the world has caught up with us
we did not want
a world too much with us
for this for everything we are out of tune
paradise
for many
for all of us
now lost
The World Is Too Much With Us......Wordsworth
Heartbreakingly beautiful. Thank you so much for sharing this.
ReplyDeleteA lament that is beautiful in the starkness of the truth...
ReplyDeleteVery touching.
ReplyDeleteThank you for your response to this awful tragedy!
ReplyDeleteYou captured the heartache of this moment of evil so well.
ReplyDeletea moving tribute for those lost
ReplyDeleteRall, the way you use “the world has caught up with us” really lands for me — that’s exactly the feeling... And the way it ends with paradise… “now lost” feels devastating.
ReplyDeleteMuch love,
David
