Poem For September 11

FOR THE FALLEN

In The Unblinking Eye
We Watched You Fall
We Turned Away
But Your Image Remained

We Knew You
Our Fellow Travelers
Taking A Journey
None Had Prepared

The Journeys You Led
Taken From Your Grasp
Given To Others
For Completion

We Tread Now
In Your Footsteps
Your Past
Serving As Our Guide

Where Do We Go
When We Reach Your Last Step
The Way Ahead
Unmarked

Then We See
Like Fireflies At Night
Your Dreams
Leading Us Onward

We Shall Miss You
Fellow Travelers
Our Hearts, Our Souls
Cry In Loss

But You Shall Rise Again
Forever In Our Lives
And Not Be Forgotten
Nor Your Works Ignored

When We Gather
All Our Memories
And Tell the Old Anew
You Shall Be There

And When All Is Past
And All Is Finished
We Shall See You
In God’s Unblinking Eye
