Thank you, Michelle Kidwell, for the challenge. I accept.


Poem Artwork

The words meant for one
stretched out from a broken heart
to soothe other lives:

Feelings of sadness
from that dark September day
cried onto the page;

feelings of anger
from watching the Towers fall
screamed out to be read;

feelings of great fear
demanded acknowledgement,
and their voice was heard;

feelings of tumult
and uncertainty for what
the future entails;

feelings of comfort,
knowing I wasn't alone
in feeling like this -

others pen their thoughts;
their pain meshes with your pain
and all is not lost:

If one of the words
has touched you personally,
misson accomplished.

Healing through writing
benefitted all of us:
author AND reader.

(c) 2005, Karla Dorman.

Thank you for your well-expressed feelings. I share some of them. The impact of it came to me in a dream. What I saw on the 13" TV screen took quite awhile to sink in. I was actually there when the foundations were laid, and I stood on the observation deck a year before the towers came tumbling down. I worked nearby and looked up at the towers so many times on the way to work.

Wonderful poem. Words sometimes heal more than pills. Thanks Karla for this excellent offering.

Reading this was a jolt back to the day the planes stopped flying..I live right near an airport and the silence was so eerie and just enforced the horror...Kudos!!

They all touched me, Karla. This is inspiring and sad at the same time. You brought it all back . . . That is good. We muc never forget, but I am afraid more than should have already put it in the back of their minds. Shame.

I would say you met the challenge with flying words or is that colors
Oh Darn I keep confusing my metaphor or is that Met-Her-for

Gifting bestowed through the fires of pain and despair... where words have been choked and are sometimes inexpressible, the muse has often unlocked and awoken the spirits of the bards and the poets to speak for all those whose mouths have been stopped with grief. Beautiful answer to the call and the challenge, Karla. Bless you and thank you. Kate xx
