A Tribute Poem in memory of the New Town Connecticut Shooting victims

To Bring Clock Immobilized For A Moment

(Sonnet Form)
By: Noel N. Villarosa

26 December 2012

Whilst time is not in our hands to bear

Whispering hushed sound, steals someone’s life

A lithe gunman brandishing gun to err

If only I hold time, I’ll stop the strife

The ephemeral laughter of childhood

Bequeath memories to posterity

Be an advocate for gun ban, I would

Parents felt like dry leaf in an eddy

I speak of my thoughts, hopes, and prayers

A glimpse of dulcet smile one last chance

Felicity in heaven cloaked the fears

For these children once have a dalliance

One by one, far and near, gunshot broke out

In silence, their presence you can’t live without
