Remembering the Day ~

 Nine Eleven

On September eleven
when it happened
while we watched
we could not help thinking about
our own thin brick walls
left standing around us
here, in the heartland.

Walled in between
panic and gratitude
we sat gaping,
not noticing
how our helpless tears
would not stop falling.

It is much easier to live with an illusion than with reality, . . . with a belief than with a fact.

Wisdom ~

Only the man who is able to stand alone can see reality as it is, free from the opinion of others.
