Poetry is just the evidence of life. If your life is burning well, poetry is just the ash. Leonard Cohen

Voices Rise


source


The children have no fear to speak

Their voices rise above the grief

that cuts us low and makes us meek

but children have no fear to speak

Our honesty is all they seek

Just listening provides relief

The children have no fear to speak

Their voices rise above the grief.
