when i close my eyes
i see the planes hitting
the twin towers...over
and over again...

when i close my eyes
i see the burst of flames
and deadly smoke...over
and over again...

when i close my eyes
i see people panic
on city streets...over
and over again...

when i close my eyes
i see desperation
when people jump...over
and over again...

when i close my eyes
i see police and fire
crews rush inside...over
and over again...

when i close my eyes
i hear news reports the
pentagon was struck...over
and over again...

when i close my eyes
i learn another plane
crashed in that field...over
and over again...

when i close my eyes
i see the collapsing
of the twin towers...over
and over again...

when i close my eyes
i learn that thousands died
loved ones heroes...over
and over again...

no wonder i can't sleep

one of my earlier poems...it captures
everyone's emotions perfectly...what
happened when we closed their eyes
after watching the news...over and
over again...(((HUGS))) and much
love, karla. :(
