A poem by Brett Engle

Likely needing words
there are few
or too many

Now is the time
should have been ready

Clobbered with shock
and confusion
no clue of conclusion

Desperate hope
like never before
all I’ve got
not a lot

Looking to humans
overwhelmed by
the cause
the chaos
the cure

Searching tremendous noise
for the signal

And my broken heart
cries a legitimate question

Is it love
to hug you close
or keep away?
