Candle In The Rain

God bless the innocent taken to soon in that Connecticut school. May the light last long enough to see us through this dark day.

 

  

A single flame burns

inside the fallen rain,

protected by the breath

of a determined angel

seeking solace for the innocent

paralyzed by madness

before their act

received its curtain call.

Though it knows that the candle

cannot last forever

it knows the light should

weather the storm.

Dale..this is one of your most beautiful writings.
No other words could have expresssed the sorrow more deeply:

"Though it knows that the candle
cannot last forever
it knows the light should
weather the storm."

- Having been personally affected by the tragedy, like everyone else...I just find so much solace in these incandescent words.

Thanks to you for writing this.

Very touching and heartfelt. What a tragedy. Our prayers are with the many people affected by such a horrible act of selfishness and heartless inconsideration for the sanctity of life. My heart aches. Thank you for this.

A truly incomprehensible event. The last time I felt this way, this numbness this inability to wrap my mind around the reason or the cause was 911. Children, between 6 and 7 executed because a man/boy couldn't control his rage? I say this has nothing to do with being crazy, or sick this person was already dead. Dead inside. Dale I admire you for this act of healing

That was no man or boy, it was a monster... pure evil. I wish I could do something real important to help the healing. What a sad day it was.
