So mindful, the history
present in my thoughts this
morning
that transfixing moment
the towers falling
our gasps, holding our
breath
not believing our eyes
How fast, shattering
our feeling of safety
the billows of the smoke
the roar of hell
consuming so much
in those moments of insanity
Utter destruction
changing our nation
the world on that morning
carved into our memories
the images, this history,
never to be forgotten
