Liberty's Tears Clouded in the eerie dusk Liberty stands, draped in dust Gaze cast down on horrific scene As cries of rage break terror's scream Savage blows to mankind's heart Fear and terror they do impart Now through the veil of liberty's tears In silence we stand and shed our tears And as the candles glow we seek our peace While mankind mourns, and seeks release Thoughts turn to hope, of distant visions unclear And a time to live, never again to be cast in fear "Let me pierce the realm of glamour |

EagleOne~ Hello, luv~ This is a tenderly penned piece of your heart~ Today there were so many lovely tributes and fund-raisers on the television ... each story brought it's own tender tears of remembrance~ With all the lives lost, if we began to tell their stories tomorrow, with just one each day ... it would take 18 years to sing their songs~ That's pretty darned sad, huh ? *Big hugs* to you, sweet poet of remember~ Thank you~ Love ya'  ~*Marge*~ ~*The pen of the poet never runs out of ink, as long as we breathe.*~ |

A lovely tribute....I can see her now, tears streaming down her face. We discussed at work what would have happened if they had crashed into the statue of liberty....it doesn't bear thinking of... |

a wonderful message, that is well stated, though the last two lines could be tightened to retain the rhythm you started with...I only say this because you indicate you encourage constructive critique and this is too great a piece not to fine tune don't ask me exactly how to do it, though, as I have the same trouble, often I must add, the title is 'superb'...that's what drew me in immediately!
