witness

in support of #MarchForOurLives
gazing with tearful eyes
i witness
pure potential, boundless love
colors yet unchosen, taking form...
feeling with a privileged heart
i sit surrounded
by tweeted headlines
so much needless loss
not far away. here. now.
the unbearable silence
drives me outside
where a picnic bench silently invites
a little girl dances over to let me know she's having cucumber and a sandwich for lunch.
life. please God, life.
let the music play...
