The snowflakes will fall just the same.
They will float down like feathers, just the same as always.
But can we ever look at them the same way?
Now that we realize that life is just as fragile as the flakes we see fall?
Melting and disappearing as quickly as they came?Sometimes sticking around just long enough for us to realize that we truly love them?
The sun will shine just the same.
Lighting up the world with a warm glow, just the same as always.
But can we ever look at it the same?
Now that it doesn't feel so warm with the cold hearts that live in this world?
Now that the sunsets don't seem as beautiful?
Only sad because it's just another goodbye?
The stars will gleam just the same.
Glittering in the night sky, just the same as always.
But can we ever look at them the same way?
Now that they just represent the dreams that will never come true?
Happiness that can never be?
Beauty that will never be appreciated?
How can we ever look at it the same way, when we know that there is evil in the world? Evil that looks at the same snowflakes. The same sun. The same stars. How can we ever see the beauty again?
Dedicated to the 20 innocent kindergartners who lost their lives today and will never see the beauty in this world and to the families who will have to learn to love the beauty all over again.
My heart, as well as so many others, goes out to you.
