A Quest for Healing Post October 7, 2023

 

A quest for healing post October 7,

Where to begin, what to do, how and when?

For whom, under what circumstances, by whom?

All are implicated, involved, affected,

 

As witnesses or survivors of atrocities.

First or second hand reports leave no bystanders;

Children of survivors or of victims

Carry the trauma, closed within or without.

 

The responsibility is incumbent

To listen or just be present in silence;

To feel the sigh, to hear the silent scream;

To show caring does save lives and give strength.

 

To transform the nightmare into a dream

When you come to the rescue, lights a beam.
