There Is No Peace
The night falls gentle upon the earth
but hard within the heart of a terror-filled child
There is no peace this night
but a sentry-like awareness of
every noise, every movement
within the house
A silent prayer is taken upon the wings
of the mourning dove
who waters the ground below with its tears
watching puddles form where each drop lands
forming a new ocean of sorrow
There is no peace this night
The tender child draws itself
into a tiny ball as if to disappear
footsteps are heard in the hall
please no is whispered please go is prayed
as the doorknob quietly turns
There is no peace this night
The dove soars higher shaking sobs within its breast
penetrating clouds gliding on wind
seeking its source
looking for the Light
knowing there will be no peace this night
The shadow falls across
clenched fists tousled curls
drawn up limbs eyes squeezed shut
against the scene about to unfold
scarcely breathing knowing
there is no peace this night
Feverishly winging toward
the rainbow of light and celestial destination
the dove contracts and gasps with the pain
of its little charges spirit
and delivers the message
To the being of Light and Beauty
who swoops down to grasp the hand of the child
and deliver its pain to another dimension
to be stored until the child is stronger
and able to face the reality of evil on the earth
The angel cradles her charge
gently rocking while tears stream down her face
mixing with the silent tears of the child
The dove quietly sings its grievous song of mourning
for the lost innocence of this precious tot
There is no peace this night
