One Tuesday Morning by Colleen Keller Breuning
One Tuesday Morning
The world was moving, she was floating above it
a painted fairy skirting wispy clouds
silk cobwebs against a field of crystal blue
as twisted metal rained down from the skies.
Shattered glass pierced the coldest heart
amidst bags of broken bone and skin
and blood spilled on the ground
the world crumbled right before our eyes.
Night must fall now.... darker, darker
pure evil buried beneath smoking rubble
the dust of death filled up our lungs
weary minds tainted with terror and fright.
Feeble, we crawled out of the wreckage
emerging from the dark of night
and she was waiting there, lantern aglow
promising a new world of hope and light.
