9/11 - Poem

9/11

Billowing dust and crushed matter

Sudden decent of countless number

Floating innocent flesh and cinder

Fleeing multitude clouded over

Few messages and tokens

Transport love in final moments

Unseen welcome into heaven

Clasp of distant hearts unbroken

Bodies tumbling into dust

Spirits rise to be embraced

Beholding love's familiar face 

Escaping grip of evil's hate
