Notes About The Poem
The very recent aircraft fatal crashes in Washington, DC and Pennsylvania are a stark reminder of the fragility of life. Hold family and friends close. ~

the birds with lights

the birds with lights collided....passengers fell
into cold potomac

in pennsylvania chill another bird crashed....
mangled more sad losses

the perished soar to god....so far aloft
of the humbled earthly flights

Yes, that was just horrible. There were two pilots and maybe another person that was on the crew that were from Georgia. Brilliant young men and women who were doing something good with their lives. I feel for all the families, friends and acquaintances of these young people who have a permanent empty space in their heart from the loss/es. Sara K
