Vengeance seeking monsters
aimed at
random
homes and lives.
Security
ripped apart
never to be the same again.
Just as all looks hopeless
just as tears come
the strong arm of a stranger
reaches out.
A tiny flame of comfort
begins.
Broken hearts
thank God
for all that remains
family and friends.
And just for a moment
there’s peace.
