REMEMBER THEM

Folder: 
Sept. 11. 2001

There was glimmer,

But only briefly.

The opaque eyes

For a moment

Sparkled.

Then it was gone.



A muzzy purr

He drooled.

It slowly trickled

Down his chin.

Meandering

To join the rest.



Forty years

Young.

No sign of

Grey or arthritis,

Trapped in

Time.



A man’s

Dreams.

Still young in

Mind.

Those happy

Thoughts.



His tender

Love.

They’re young

Family

A bright new

World.



He

Remains.

All else

Now perished.

One of the

Survivors?








Author's Notes/Comments: 

The living can at times be constant reminder's of the dead.
Remember the living ,it's life has many shapes and forms. Many tragidies too.
