Nothing
All I can offer is nothing
Nothing is all I can say.
Breath viciously robbed from so many
In an incomprehensible way.
Safely detached from the horrors
I have no words to this day.
With thousands still living the nightmare
I sip warm tea in dismay.
All I can offer is silence
"Silence"
is all I can say.
written by me in 2011 for those who lost loved ones to the 9/11 terrorist attacks
Take care of yourselves, dear friends.
You are loved, and we have each other.
