Today just now was a day of remembrence by Candlelighters for the lost children of cancer.

Too many words

In the head

Write them

Down

Before bed.

 

 

A day of heroes

Hundreds of heroes

And hugs

And a Hero

Juxtapose

My cowardice

Beautiful brave

Liv

Who came to give

With hundreds of 

Heroes and love

Too many to

Really name

All the same

Visions of beauty

Eyes on fire

Flames put out

Countless tears

Names one after

Another.

 

A room washed in 

Shared love

And loathing

Today love won

Tomorrow….

But just for 

Today

Unbelievable friendship

Unlimited kinship

Family gathered

Professional left at 

The door of compassion

Doctors and nurses and carers 

Who

Fought and fought and fought

Then came

On a day off

We don’t know 

None of us 

Comprehend

 

The emotion

Was too mighty

Too immense

Too much for this

The power

Of the emotion

That can’t be

Named

By any words

In any language

Or culture

Or creed

Everyone

Was everything 

Today

The world

 

“David Kay”

I nearly

Vomited with 

My intensity

And fear

But so much

Beauty near

Its wrong

To name my name

Amongst the 

Names that

Floated into the sky

With colours 

Whirling

In torment

Suddenly I swear

The carriers shaped

And fell into

The pattern

Of lifes helix

That was 

My sign 

For the day.
