" ...our clumsy attempts to assuage your grief comforts our own .... "
Image (c) 2007, Karla Dorman.
Eyes, scalded, remember the past [forever] branded in our soul. The years have not erased time and distance: still fresh, still raw, as if it happened yesterday and not six short years ago.
Can't imagine losing your past [forever] to a future that can never be: remembered in private for the whole world to see, you carry on while wanting to hide behind our tears.
"I'm sorry" cannot change the past [forever] scarred or make you feel better. Our clumsy attempts to assuage your grief comforts our own: just don't know how to say it with grace and dignity ...
Beautiful flower! Actually there is nothing to be said. What has happened, happened and is a fact of history for the ages. So you see, you are correct.....

such amazing writing! well expressed
You are right, no one can take away their grief but themselves. The journey to remember the goodtimes, with the love they lost; is a healing process. Similar to those who have a breakup or divorce. One must learn not to dwell on the negatives or it will dwain you.
While your poem is a dedication to victims and survivors of September 11th, I can't help but think how each of us in our feeble attempts to comfort a grieving person - find comfort.
W O W!! You said it better than I ever could......AWESOME write! BRAVA, Karla!
Never forget and always remember!
(((HUGS))) and much love, your twin, Karen Lynn. :( >tears! <

Sometimes, just sometimes, we are lucky enough to actually "make right" or makes ammends. It doesn't take away the event, but, we may find dignity in the attempt. Something we all strive for...
wonderfully written and true.
