Buried Cries

heard beneath rubble
cries from a buried woman
so many were lost
when the Twin Towers tumbled
foggy haze fell on New York

rescuers, heroes
many joined in the effort
indestructible --
the feeling that we once knew --
vulnerable now in grief

Jared Pickett Date: 4/6/2012 7:55:00 AM I can see you sitting cross legged under a trees shadow, overlooking the memorial for those fallen 911 victims. Inspiration comes from even the smallest detail. This poem was well written and I enjoyed it very much.. Good to see you again my friend, it has been a while..:JP]

Russell Sivey Date: 4/5/2012 9:09:00 PM Wow, Carolyn that is a very awesome write that you have written! My favorite part of the poem has to be the use of these two words: indestructible and vulnerable...which are used extremely appropriately! The powerful write is encouraging and it leads me to the heart and soul! I just love your write! Great Work!!
