URBAN HISTORY - 9/11 THE POEM


THE DAY OF NO RETURN

After acts of terror
after scenes of horror
after mounds of steel
tombs of incinerated bodies
after reflections of betrayal
misplaced energies
powers of darkened emotions
what will happen now
perhaps choices to explore
perhaps possibilities of understanding
perhaps through tears of disbelief
where foundations are not destroyed
people with heads held high
a searching for spiritual comfort
yes, time above all considerations
a time for mercy with justice
oh great spirit of divine inspiration
beloved giver of beauty and life
send beings of light and protection
to peal back veils of confusion
empower them to surround fearful minds
with wings of clarity and strength
a prayer for all to bring back
balance of mind, body, heart
eternally now a balance to all souls
answering each mournful question
with new beginnings and loving resolutions
with respect, compassion and love.
