dark light (haiku)

A Poem by dan
"

a prayer for our brothers in freedom devastated in france

"


a city of light


traumatized and quieted


now whispers in dark.

Paris did not stop. One of the writers. Wrote dance, sing and drink in the city of lights. Don't allow them to make us know fear." If we are overtook by fear. Terror had won. A sad day for this world and Paris. Awake-up call for the world.
