Still She Sings Still air stifled by black smoke struggled under the weight of unjustifiable loss. The air heaves solemnly there. Even now grown men lament alongside women and children lost in their September memory. Tears run their course down the woeful cheek; passing freely between callused fingers to form pools of sorrow upon that barren lot where time stands still. I remember clearly the day this world stopped turning; bitter that morning seized by terror. I watched as lamenting tears of fellow men mustered with the blood of the innocent. Daunting images haunt me in darkened hours without provocation; ever perpetuating this sorrow that casts it's darkness upon me. However, this tragedy that shook the very foundation of humanity, shall sustain itself at the edge of retribution's blade. For all who lament, lay solace in strife. Day has not succumbed to the night, rather night beckons the day to begin. Our day of reckoning is upon us. Righteousness fuels the principled storm. The heavy heart is treasured here, for the eye of the storm lives within. Calm eternalizes freedom while justice rains fire upon the despondent few. We mourn yet we live. The day not forgotten steadies the hands of democracy. Freedom dances with sacrifice on the laden back of Lady Liberty ...and still she sings. Copyright, Kevin V. Reese, 2002 |
