Nightmare-

too real

but I remain awake



I am numb

my limbs feel as stone

heavy as my heart



incomprehensible

unbelievable

like a repeat of a day past

but in reverse



I am numb

fingers drag across

this tear moistened keyboard



Saddness streaks across

our blue skies

reflected in eyes

of grief and disbelief



I am numb



terrible pain fills me

emotional twisting of soul

dizzy-minded from views on

the screen



I pray their passing

was painless and quick,

that their families

find strength and comfort



I am numb



human reaction to ward away

devestation and confusuion

yet no protective covering

thick enough to deter this...



the only part of me that

moves freely now



are tears.
