The Morning Sun

The morning sun arose like it has since the dawn of man.

It was an ordinary workday in bustling cities across America.

The sun made the morning,

Beautiful.

It seemed to be just another lazy late summer day.

Cell phones were being used all across the nation.

At first the calls coming in sounded normal enough.

“Honey I love you…”

Followed by,

“We’ve been hijacked.”

Then…

At that moment, sun became nonexistent.

Slowly the dust and debris settled.

There was a choking feeling in our throats and a sharp

pain in our hearts.

As the dust and debris settled.

The sun seems a little brighter than before.

For a moment in time Heaven and Earth collided.

Heaven is a little fuller,

And our Earth a little emptier.
