September Mourn
“No Day Shall Erase You From the Memory of Time” (Virgil)
Some days are meant to
be remembered - birthdays,
anniversaries, graduations,
to name but a few. Some days
are never to be forgotten.
The sky was brilliant blue,
filled with Fall freshness.
The sky spiraled into darkness,
swollen with smoke and sorrowful
loss.
Moments of angst and anguish,
consumed by moments of prayer
and petition, leading to moments
of kindness and compassion, cradling
us all.
Pictures of the lost were everywhere,
where did they go? No words could
describe the grief that was felt by
so many, so much heartache to be
carried by all.
Twenty-five years have passed, life
pushes us forward, but we stop to
remember all who were lost that day
and days following, because some
days are never to be forgotten - - -
9/11.
Resume
I am a 9/11 witness and survivor who worked at 130 Liberty Street, across the street from the WTC. The memories of that day are etched in my mind. I am retired now and have pursued writing in this chapter of my life. I wrote the poem September Mourn for the upcoming 25th Anniversary to honor the commitment - to never forget.
