The Willow Trees

Omagh

A day
can seem like a lifetime                   
a moment like a year
hopes and dreams
contained and lost
in one exploding tear

Caught
in the freeze frame
moving in slo-mo
another imagined 
retrospective scenario

When those loved
more than life
do not survive
the deepest wound 
is the hurt
of being alive
To stand beneath
the willow trees
and weep aloud 
lost in grief
wander Market street
among the crowd

Caught
in the freeze frame
moving in slo-mo
another imagined
retrospective scenario.
