For Ro

Dear Ro,
I thought I would share this, a writing crafted a few years ago on that day, with you. I was moved then and am still being moved daily by the continuing atrocities stemming from that incident.

You're one strong woman. God Bless, and here is my poem:

The Shadows 9/11

A faceless image brushes past
Swiftly moving towards eternity
For a brief moment
It impales me

Dreams, hopes, desires aglow
Changing intensities, emerging
For a brief moment
They disrupt me

Emotions of fury, fear, hope
Bathe me in a sea of gray
For a brief moment
They move me

Nameless souls in despair, cry
In an ocean of tears to drown
For a brief moment
They join me

Voices like the sirens piercing, deep
Images, dreams, emotions, souls
For a brief moment
They touch me

A voice speaks of unity, strength, prayer
Of freedom, love, a nation under God
For a brief moment
Did you hear me

@Angel

Ro, you are eloquent and blunt pointing out facts. As a factual woman who has had her share of browbeating and arguments I too know what it is like to be pummeled and I am glad that, despite everything negative being thrown your way, you stand up and maintain that which makes you YOU. Your passions, beliefs, principles and opinions; NO one has a right to take them from you for they make you the special & unique human being you are. It is nice to see you, a highly visible and respected person, unwavering despite all that is thrown your direction.

I just hope people are listening.

Blessings, peace and light,
~~~Angel
