A moment ago
The sun was shining While we watched The pounding rhythm of feet Running Sweat and water Tears and laughter Sharp pains in the side A moment ago They stepped over the finish line Raised fist high Saw loved ones Flashed a smile of victory A moment ago The Beast unleashed Memories of planes and buildings, Drones and wedding parties, Newton, Columbine, Batman, Kent State A litany of horrors A wail of pain Innocence shattered All it takes is one moment To change life into death Death into despair And in the midst of tragedy The unimaginable kindness of strangers.
