Memories loom
How it started,
Seemingly calm
Yet with a turbulent end...
Words can’t express the emotions,
Empathy can’t succour the wounds,
Time can’t influence the scars...
Pock-marked they are,
Imbued deeply into the souls
Lives lost, innocence lost...
Not ever to be found,
Ne’er to be returned
Bravery yet remains etched
Pervading through hearts and minds...
As the day draws closer,
Memories loom
Of sacrifices and fortitude
Of optimism and patriotism
Memories that sculpted the world
Not just on that day...
But for time immemorial...
