On the day before we enter the #nextamerica, we crossed this horrific threshold. This poem is for the 400,000 gone.

2/ 400,000
by @lisasharper
400,000 souls
who lived
and breathed
and dreamed
and longed for peace
and worked for peace
and struggled with their own brokenness
and played
and cried
and we’re loved
and loved...
They were w/ us
One year ago.
400,000 images of God.

3/ We love you.
We acknowledge you.
We thank you.
You passed from our writhing world—unprepared. No goodbye. No “affairs in order”.

4/ So, today at 5:30pm ET we will all stop.
We will face you.
We will see you.
We will weep with you.
And we will release you
Into the next phase of life;
Shrouded behind the veil called death.

5/ But you are not dead.
Your soul does not die.
You live in our memories;
In what you taught us
In how you touched us.
Walk forward, dear ones
Be received by Love
S/he is waiting for you.
