After Boom

After the explosion,
But only for a second.
All is quite,
And all is calm.
Nobody sees for just a second,
And nobody moves for just a second.

Thousands of minds go blank.
Hundreds of people stare at the sight.
Ten people were caught in the crossfire.
One man cries out...

Another man rushed onto the site,
Desperate for answers,
Desperate for hope,
Desperate for her.

Her.
The cause of all his joy,
The one that made him happy.
The cause of all his work,
The one that he worked with,
The cause of all his life.
He couldn't lose her now.

And after minutes,
Hours,
Days,
Weeks,
By her side,
He got hope.
He got compassion.
He got her.
As if he never lost her.
And he never would.
Never.
