To Have Experienced
Unspeakable horror and unwholly described tragedy
Pain pronounced in every pair of eyes
Attempting to hold upon the last bit of composure
To contradict your frightened child's cries
Such vulnerability as never before accumulates
Do not know what to anticipate, you, as it surrounds
Warily taking in every forbidding and unfamiliar detail
As an immense and thunderous silence resounds
What has brought you to this intimidating place
That fills you with an uncomprehendable heartache
For your own bed and a mother's assuring touch
Trying to display deliberate strehgth for a weaker one's sake
