nine-eleven-twenty aught one

so much was lost

brilliant 

 blue sky

iconic 

 horizon

 collapses

into

 decade long

 death march

started

 that September 

 morn

I mourn

Author's Note

For the thousands of innocent people killed on and since 9-11.
I mourn for them. I mourn for their Families I mourn for liberty.
I mourn the truth.

Some days stay still, time can't distort them or their meaning, 9/11 is one of those days. Your words are simple yet utterly meaningful and sadly magnificent.

[Coyote Poetry]

A sad day for the USA. I hope and pray the family of the victims are doing OK. Hard to lose someone in a life. A sad and powerful poem.
