one moment,

silenced now,
the routine that winds the mornings,

one breath,
from one mirrored heart and soul,

one bird,
a lone traveler
inks the sky in omnipresence,
unmoved by joining teardrops,
shed by humanity's fall,

2500+,
names penned on rosters,
clicking as decibels
sing out, bittersweet,
the air that shrouds their
announcement,

forestfull of evergreens,
insulating the weeping ones,

from memorials as this one,

stop the inevitable,

we are either blessed or doomed
as one pulse beats beneath tomorrow,

our fates woven as one,

on the brink of mourning,
church bells sounding,
forewarnings
that more such mornings
may come

We shall never forgot them or the day
the world changed forever.

ahh hitting hard over there I bet .. .
This is beautiful Michele

on the brink of mourning,
church bells sounding,
forewarnings
of more such
mornings to come

May they be short . . .
