This was written at the memorial for the 5th year anniversary of 9/11/. Today is a blessing and all that happened after.
The Bell
A solemn bell peals alone
Throughout the land today.
It calls 2,973 names that have passed away.
5 years ago today.
Some will listen to the bells vow,
Wondering at times “why?” or “how?”
Some will pass it off, for they have
No grasp at all.
Most will stand there, listen,
And resume their lives—
With a numb feeling that never dies.
A solemn bell peals alone
Not caring who hears—
Calling 2,973 times for the dead
That passed away,
5 years ago today.
