some things are never forgotten....

Memories Rising

Sometimes it seems

it never happened:

"the nightmare"

But then I look up

and they're not there

And once again,

I remember. . .


that dark day

September

So many nightmares in a lifetime...some never forgotten...We must pray! Dorothy A Poet Who Loves to Sing

Karin Anderson
The world will never forget this nightmare you write so clearly and sensitively write about Sonya. These things seem to happen to someone else and not us, but it was real and I agree with Munia to let us pray for the souls who have departed~

Meggie Gultiano
that tragedy will never be forgotten..It is history..a sad, sad history.

Munia Khan
Let us all pray for those very souls that left us 10 years ago Sonya.Thanks for this beautiful work on such a tragedy:(

Sandra Martyres
A very moving write Sonya....about an unbelievable tragedy

Ency Bearis
Remarkable poem

Scott Ball
yes i feel those haunting memorys in visions apocalyptic. All we can do is remember while giving our blessings to those who fell or who are related more intimately.

Susan Jarvis
There's an air of disbelief surrounding this monumental tragedy, Sonya, that shines through in every line of this heart touching poem... I'm sure many are asking, how such a devastating event could have occurred - a moving reminder of such loss. Well written.

Fay Slimm
Sad reminder and so tenderly versed here Sonya - we shall not forget.

Kesav V Easwaran
Towers...they remain sad, reminding monuments in the memory of world peace...a nice follow-up write...
