Smoky Horizon : In memorandum to those who lost their lives on September 11, 2001

Through the smoky horizons

come brushes with death

spirit drifts in the clouds

attempting to avoid theft


Fire advances

planes and offices burn

buildings collapse

wondering where to turn


Evil spurts out ashes

rumors of whose to blame

devil’s faces in the smoke

haunting and filled with shame


A light flickers

calling souls out of the dark

the light grows stronger

comfort in the park


Rain falls

there is new life

never forgetting those

who passed into the night


Blue lights shine

illuminating the sky

a memorial to those lost

spirit of hope never dies
