A moment crystallized in my memory
by
the moving images, the pictures
by
the fire, the smoke,
the
chaos shrouding us
An
audible gasp, in horror,
as
the planes crashed into the towers
as
they fell, in clouds of smoke
knowing
death reigned inside
when
all of us were brought into tragedy
by
the TV screens, the images
not
wanting to believe
A
gasp was our common response
as
each person faced terror
Alive
in our hearts that day;
Remembered,
never to be forgotten
