Oh, Death,
I felt this, thy presence,
At the age of seven.
What happened to
The little dancing girl
Who sang with such
Wild abandonment
With flowers woven
In her blonde hair?
Found on Pinterest on 7-3-15.
She lost her
Innocence
That fateful day
In the merry
Month of May
When a gunshot
Filled the air
And destroyed
Her belief that
God was everywhere.
Found on Google+ on July 4, 2015. Weather channel contest. Photography by Gale.
The smell of
Tainted blood
Was in the room.
She saw eyes
That could
No longer see.
She felt death’s hand
Caress her cheek,
Heard the threat
Of harm
That made her weak.
She knew with certainty,
She could only
Save herself
That fateful day.
