DAYS JUST AFTER TEN
YEARS PAST
Strange was
the air then that fall.
You’d hear
an airplane drone,
Breaking the
morning silent.
You’d look
up and quiver some
Then bow
your head in
Silent
mourning.

nice you capture well the feeling of that day...and the days after....
I have to remind myself that the world that came into being that day is the only one my children remember.
So true. Then again, I remember the empty skies for what seemed like ages afterward as all flights were canceled post 9/11. See that first plane back in the sky later was almost a relief. Thanks for playing along with the Sunday 160, Larry.
Very very touching indeed..
New Delhi India just witnessed a blast a few days back.. wonder where is it going!
Hugs xo

A wonderful tribute!
This really captures that all too familiar feeling you get when you look up in the sky and remember that everything is different.
So many things resonated with a different meaning after that day. I remember it in my teaching especially.
