A year has past.
The wreckage removed.
Time has gone on
but the horror remains.
Its embedded in
the hearts
of the loved ones,
in the memories
of survivors,
in the eyes
of all
who watched.
Vivid pictures
of the sureal scene
replay over
in my mind.
The sights
and sounds
of that day
shall be with me
always.
There is
no forgetting
such a horrific tragedy.
There is no
letting go
of such saddness.
There is no way
to erase
such scenes
from your mind.
They are engraved
in me
forever.
No amount
of time
can pass
that will
lessen the pain
left behind.
There is
no forgetting
9/11/01.
