remembering

September 11th......

I was walking in the park with a friend...
we both commented that there was NO noise....

The skies cleared of all air traffic...
the new autumn wind blew across fields and stream....
not even much road traffic was to be heard.....
it seemed that even the wildlife calmed and quieted...

Life came to a standstill that morning....
nine years ago...
as four planes were commandeered...
as the towers fell.

remembering those lost.....
honoring heroism....
