Original poem written and read at Racer Cafe by host of Sunday's silent vigil

Standing Still                                                                                  

by Brenda  Kay Neth

In the Silence of this loss, we are standing still

There is no movement to be made.

But to accept and to see

that we are bound together.

Silenced by the silence

We reach out beyond language and pain

To find there is a world where we can live again

No answers for the violence

But to know in our hearts

Intention, a breath of hope and beauty

Amidst the chaos

Standing still, our hearts move together

Crying in unison

There is a brightness of The Earth

Surrounding us

No sky too small, no sun too bright

We reach out, motionless

To each other

Hearing without words

The truth:

We are one

And in the Silence

Love moves on.
