“Medical workers wheel the injured across the finish line during the 2013 Boston Marathon following an explosion in Boston, Monday, April 15, 2013. Two explosions shattered the euphoria of the Boston Marathon finish line on Monday, sending authorities out on the course to carry off the injured while the stragglers were rerouted away from the smoking site of the blasts.”

 

Finish line

 

The pounding of feet

Beating the street

Blinding sweat

But not so blinding I regret,

We will never forget

Lines crossed

Souls lost

My thoughts are with my American friends and family today. 

The world at large feels this loss.

So many countries and so many nations are represented at the Boston Marathon.

World shaking,

Earth Quaking.
