The Hour Glass

Pray for the victims of the shooting at the Pulse.       In light of the tragedy at the Pulse, In Orlando, Florida last night my heart has been heavy with the sense of the loss being experienced by those of the fifty people savagely murdered by Omar Mateen. Isis alliances or not, this is as heavy blow to American freedoms as any other hate crime. My love and heart is with those who have lost some one in this tragedy.

     

My heart is with those who survived also; the injury’s run deeper than the flesh wounds inflicted. I can’t image the depth of physiological pain and confusion being experienced at this time, and I pray you make a full recovery. In honor to those who's lives were cut short, those who survived and directly affected by this act of terror, I wrote the following Poem.




the shooting at the Pulse in Orlando FloridaThe Hour Glass

Life is like an hour glass 
Two parts are ever present 
The top is the full of the future 
The bottom collects the past. 
In a single moment the future and the past 
Unite 
In the present 

The sands of time fall gently 
The energy of mankind 
 Each grain single, although gathered 
Full of future potential 
Preparing to pass from the future to the past 
Unique 
Through the present 

The present is very narrow 
The future awaits its time. 
Slowly moving to existence 
the shooting at the Pulse in Orlando FloridaExpectantly traveling 
Towards the present, to enter though in a flash 
Blinking 
Out the present 

The energy has been spent 
The potential has been spent 
Yet the grain has left its mark scratched 
On its way through the present 
Leaving impressions that will withstand tests of time 
Etching 
Through the present

Life is like an hour glass 
Two parts are ever present 
The top is the full of the future 
The bottom collects the past. 
In a single moment life is carved on our hearts 
For time… 
Eternity 
50 shot dead at the pulse
