This is a poem I wrote years ago, after another tragedy shifted the world. Remember, look for the heroes and the light.
Seeing and Seeking
I saw the devil yesterday
cloaked in flame and smoke
three stories high
coughing glass fragments
and shrapnel
severing limbs and drawing blood
Others have seen him
in a gunman’s silhouette
heard him hissing
as acid hit flesh
But I have also seen God
in the reflection of a badge
heard Him in the footsteps
of Samaritans rushing to aid
felt His hand in the hand
of every victim
smiling through His tears
