after the world fell down
it left a weighty weaving darkness
full of fury but no sound
so quiet
we could not hear our own voices

A fine dedication. In the aftermath, so much still hung about the soul...and still hangs...
ReplyDeleteAnd didn't it fall! I think the surprise came when the world actually joined together...to help itself rise in the aftermath. A wonderful tribute to a day that changed me forever.

ReplyDeleteThe 'loud silence' can very well describe how one feels about that event. One cannot comprehend it, it is a wordless description. Thanks for your write.
Yes, perfect. So true the world fell down that day and the fury was voiceless as impotence is.
