The Memories Flooding Back
In each season not diminished
the memories etched forever
imprinted on our hearts
always to be remembered
The memories flooding back
harkened from deep within
the planes, the fireballs
the chaos that would follow
Watching then in real-time
a war nascent, blooming
a decade to follow
the pages slowly turning
An audible gasp, in horror,
as the planes crashed into the towers
as they fell, in clouds of smoke
knowing death reigned inside
Anger, resolve, was our common response
as each person faced terror
alive in our hearts that day,
Never to be forgotten
