Bittersweet September
Sensational shockwaves of fall, 2001
witnessed world trade struck cold.
As its backdrop collasped, we trembled in a sea
of misgivings untold.
Brilliant aftershocks arose then in quick pursuit
though nation’s nerves were pained.
Countless rich outgiving, volunteer champions
committed, unconstrained.
Into unplowed soil of cowardly destruction
bounteous seeds were sown
freely without thorns of selfish gain or glory.
Faith bloomed - distrust, overthrown.
