There Are No Words!
Lord Tennyson is right
There are no words
Live feeds horrific sight
Gaze froze twice raw cords
Speechless discern
Involuntary bounds
Our extreme concern
Screaming smokey sounds
Scrutinized
Tears
Televised
Sears
Poison clouds
Sorrowed broken hearts
Pardon us with our shrouds
Our world stolen parts
Collapsing pillars of steel
Ignorance grasps
Innocents surreal
Merciless traps
Glass melts and peel
Running for last gasps
Lord Tennyson is right
There are no words

You capture that feeling of disconnection, of suspension, of life becoming lost in the cinematic drama, that is with us still from that day.

So surreal… and none of us can find the words to truly express… smiles.

But at least, in our weak way, we choose to remember and meditate.

You said it right. there were no words for that day. I think we all were speechless. I am so pleased to have read so many poems about this. We are all still trying to come to terms with the events of 9/11 and the aftermath. Great Write!
