Vent, Vent, Vent


TWENTY-SIX ANGELS–gone
In a better place
A tragedy we all have to face
Shot by a demon who fell from grace
And all I can do is pace, pace, pace.

But the littlest angels are the most potent
With their store of energy as yet unspent,
Led by heroic angels when they went,
Only to return–heaven sent, sent sent.

In the stars, and the sky, I see each face
Twenty-six are gone but not without trace
Their spirit remains to save this place
All we can do?–embrace, embrace embrace.

  2. Sorry you had to shape your art and poetry skills for such a terrible event, but you have done a beautiful rendition about your thoughts for the people in Newtown. I know how difficult this was because this town is so precious in your heart. Bless you, Susan.
