This Painful Day

The free world changed in just a few hours
When damage was invoked upon the twin towers
Who could have thought such evil could exist
When the minds of terrorists begin to twist

My thoughts are scattered and the words do not come
My mind is blank and my heart is numb
The events of this week are overcome by emotion
It’s difficult to comprehend amidst the commotion

I could write about life lost from a senseless act
I could write about the anger from these attacks
I could write about death and the Devil who had won
I could write about God and how I feel there is none

In reality I can’t write about any of the above
My mind is blank and there’s nothing I can think of
My heart cries for those who have lost their lives
My heart cries for those who were spared and survive

The minutes seem like hours in the darkest of times
The only hope I see is when the stars begin to shine
Each translucent spark of light that radiates the sky
Represents a special soul who has passed us by

Perhaps someday when the world is at peace
Comfort will be found in the light the souls release
Until that time arrives, the only thing I can say
Is that the words do not come on this painful day
