Amid the flames and screams of the dying,
Wrapped in an immense and silent dignity,
A lone man falls…
Hands tucked neatly at his side,
Tie flapping gently,
As he plummets upside down.
An eerie quiet surrounds his flight,
Perhaps….
Savage death was cheated of one small victory
When angels, flying point
Gathered his graceful body before he landed, and carried him home.
In all that pain and terror
A message of hope and redemption.
Embedded in that single image
Of a silent man,
Falling… alone.

once again, you've painted strong imagery with your powerful pen...that image haunts me still...but this one image has a much nicer ending. i only wish it were true...for all of them that were forced to choose the manner of their death *tears*
and then those who died trying--succeeding--in saving others, our brave heroes *tears*
(((HUGS))) and love, karla.
thank you for remembering
