Remembrance, 9/11
Two decades plus five years have gone by
Since horror besieged that September 11th sky
A morning, that yet echoes lament and loss real
Tears, heartache, shock, beyond all conceal
The heart, the mind, conceives the thought
We within in restlessness be wrought
For there is yet the question of why, who, how
To know, to resolve, held yet as a calling vow
Before our eyes, consuming fires, crumbling buildings appear
Loved ones, sons and daughters, mothers and fathers held in fear
In dedication, in honor, with an all embracing love
Blessed BE the souls that dwell in the heavens above
As we hold memories in our heart, so too, be there a known vow
A vision once held, to be held anew. in this moment, NOW
What vision, what promise made,. hankered in their soul
Be our remembrance spirited, be we a beloved echo of a goal
To all lost to the aftermath of toxins and poisons real
Poisons that created devastation and loss beyond conceal.
YES, WE have a choice
Let not TRUTH nor DISCLOSURE be a silenced voice
TRUTH beckons, RIGHTEOUSNESS calls, in prayerful grace
Our hearts in GOD's love, in faith WE to place.
