"They said the birds refused to sing and the thermometer fell suddenly... 
as if God Himself had His breath stolen away. No one there dared speak 
aloud, as much in shame as in sorrow. They uncovered the bodies one by 
one. The eyes of the dead were closed as if waiting for permission to open 
them. Were they still dreaming of ice cream and monkey bars? Of birthday 
cake and no future but the afternoon? Or had their innocence been taken 
along with their lives, buried in the cold earth so long ago? These fates 
seemed too cruel, even for God to allow. Or are the tragic young born 
again when the world's not looking? I want to believe so badly; in a truth 
beyond our own, hidden and obscured from all but the most sensitive 
eyes... In the endless procession of souls, in what cannot and will not be 
destroyed. I want to believe we are unaware of God's eternal recompense 
and sadness. That we cannot see His truth. That that which is born still 
lives and cannot be buried in the cold earth. But only waits to be born 
again at God's behest... where in ancient starlight we lay, in repose."
