Light cascades
down the window pane
twinkling
an eye
of a
gleeful child
History, unknown
witnessed alone
Seared
his eyes
by images
of flames
Remain
unflinching
"Get away from the window"
mother screams
holds him close to her chest
as he's whisked away
eyes full of wonder
"What happened?"
crying, all she can mutter
"Someone's blown up the towers."

Passion fuels my love
Passion becomes consumed by my love
Without my love I become passionless

The legacy our children will have to bear is one that will [again] be infamous...

patience will become the key word when teaching, right, wrong, and the reason why we must reach further to understand more....

Well done, Sir.

HardKore~
Vivid imagery that will play in the minds of so many for so long~

You touched that tender need of a mother
to protect her child in this one~

Thank you for sharing~
