Unbreakable
Our hearts break
as we witness the unthinkable,
haunted by the eyes of
innocent children,
mothers and fathers,
soldiers and citizens,
eyes that cannot mask
the burden they bear,
eyes reflecting such deep sorrow,
eyes not certain of tomorrow
only the horrors of today,
mournful reflections
of lives lost, and torn apart
by a greedy lust for power
while the world watches in horror
too afraid to challenge madness...
history repeating itself,
what have we learned...
our weary hearts confused, and overwhelmed
slowly grow numb,
but a nation's spirit
does not concede,
instead it lights up the world
with it's courage and love,
and empowers itself
to stand bravely alone
redefining the meaning of courage
and reminding the world
that no matter how dark the days become,
not even a mad man has the power
to break a nations spirit...
My thoughts and prayers go out to the people of Ukraine, and to the collective hearts that suffer alongside them. I know people around the world are united in prayer for their well being and the peace and freedom they deserve. May this light and love we share bring some small comfort.
respectfully, with love and light,
Penny Bowman
