Azure sky
Then black
Blood flowed
Then tears
Hearts raced
Then broke
Family called
Then lost
Hate dwelled
Then exposed
Terror planned
Then discharged
Bravery tested
Then elevated
Thoughts apart
Then joined
Sadness pervaded
Then remembered
Promise crushed
Then rebuilt
NEVER FORGET!
Very moving. I will never forget that moment, and I know there are so many people who can say the same. In some dark way it changed the world and it’s shadow hangs over us now
Nice words
Thank you, Al, for the simple but highly reflective thoughts. Nicely done. jfh
Al,I had no idea that you were such a talented poet. That poem was touching, beautiful and heartbreaking. Beautiful job!
You are very kind, Ronnie.
The memories that come back with your words…..the hurt…the disbelief. It does not seem 18 years ago but still so fresh.
I love this, Al and how your words form one of the towers.
