                                    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.
