The Dance of Overshadowed Children
The dance of overshadowed children,
above their shallow graves,
always takes place in the grey space
between dusk
and the break of a brand new day ..
Since that is always,
where and when, they all gather to cry ..

brilliantly executed Hyung
it's sobering how centuries later
your words mirror and shatter
those heart-breaking words
of Elizabeth browning:
'Do ye hear the children weeping, O my brothers,
Ere the sorrow comes with years ?
They are leaning their young heads against their mothers, —
And that cannot stop their tears.'
(from 'The cry of the Children')
I can find a way, to come to terms
with that thread of genesis causality
as our reality
if, our cruel universe
would just
leave the Children alone!!!!!!!!
it is the most morbid of perverse
to hurt something so fragile
and pure of heart
I will NEVER, EVER understand...
(I hope that brave smiling princess
and her parents are holding-on strong..
always in my thoughts)
Bless you Mek .. she seems to be fine 👍fingers x'ed
