~Those of you who know me well, know that it's a rarity that I repost a poem~
However, I am making an exception here ... as I remember being so *hushed* by the sorrow of September 11, 2001, that it took me what seemed like forever to get 'beyond' the cry of tears and dip into the ink to express my sorrow~

We cannot be silenced ... and we won't be~

Where Did They Go ?
~*Marge Tindal*~

Where did they go, those happy words
that fell so freely from my pen ?
Where did they go, those caring thoughts
written for a friend ?

I have searched all through the night
for the words I used to know
Oh, my god ... I just can't find them
Where did they go ?

Dissipated in the contrails of terror
wrought upon the land
Taken from my heart
in diabolical reign of evil hand

Spuriously they were driven from me
by those who had no right
to take the words from my pen
that might be needed tonight

Dastardly cast
wretchedly wrought
Horror to borrow
all my thought
Slaking taking
muted mock

I have looked through sleepless night
for my words of rhyme
On death of bed - with words unsaid
for friends taken in their prime

Hideous monster of cowardly disguise
You cannot have these words of mine
I take them back - and say to you
NO MORE - NO MORE
Your reign of terror is through !

*I would encourage members to go back to the Archives of Passions Open #15 & #16 and read some of the heart-felt poetry of our members during those days of terror~

~*The pen of the poet never runs out of ink, as long as we breathe.*~

This is awesome. That was a very sad day indeed.

Marge...Very Touching.
As you I was also in disbelief as to the tragedy of 9-11
I'm so glad you decided to repost this, otherwise myself & others would not have had the chance to read this wonderful but sad poem...Paul
