That we say thanks for our own fortunes.
Secretly grateful.
With one life lost,
Many will cling to their blessings.
Spirituality is brought out and dusted off.
Within one tragic moment of time,
A community is brought together.
Ashamedly "This is what it takes" they will think.
One loss,
And walls of difference brought down.
No status, colour or history for this moment of grief.
Our masks of society,
Taken down to pay respects.
Vulnerability risks being seen.
With each life lost,
We look at that road with more mournful thoughts.
The tragic beauty one split moment can bring.
It's so very true sweetie. This Ozark farm chick has seen time and time again how a tragic moment can bring people together and the beauty rises above the sadness, hurt or despair. This was beautifully written.
