Empty Chairs at Empy Tables
~Les Miserables~
There's a grief that can't be spoken,
There's a pain goes on and on,
Empty chairs at empty tables,
now my friends are dead and gone.
Here they talked of revolution,
here it was they lit the flame,
here they sang about tomorrow and tomorrow never came.
From the table in the corner,
They could see a world reborn,
And they rose with voices ringing,
And I can hear them now;
The very words that they had sung
Became their last communion
On the lonely barricade, at dawn.
Oh my friends, my friends forgive me
That I live and you are gone
There's a grief that can't be spoken,
There's a pain goes on and on...
Phantom faces at the window,
Phantom shadows on the floor,
Empty chairs at empty tables where my friends will meet no more.
Oh my friends, my friends don't ask me
what your sacrifice was for
Empty chairs at empty tables
Where my friend will sing no more.
The sadness is setting in, deep into my heart and soul...it shall pass, I hope...
That is what is soothing me from this tragedy...Hope...for the future. Hope will give our nation and it's leaders the strength we need.
Thank you all for letting me express myself here....it has been my saving grace this week.
Much love and God Speed

Weep not sad soul, nor forget, that sunrise never failed us yet.
