Calendar's Note





There is a tale that you were meant to hear:

Death now reigns; yet man controls his sting.

Across the seas--an Age charged in one's care

Must breathe renewal--now long--in the making.



Seven years of waiting--while the bliss

Of life, of hope, of dreams there--occupied.

Across the seas--across an Age--as this:

Twin Towers icon: dreams all realized.



Did struggle lives through that ancient Age

With patience lingered...there--some seven years...

Across the seas--their dreams were just a page;

Calendar's note: deferring dreams and cares.



Through seven years...and new Millennium!

A merry chase the "civil" gave the sun

Across the seas--another Age had come;

Yet, patient waiting...only incurred the gun!



For seven years was there hope for peace

For "armored brother" and "brother occupied";

Across the seas...a "spirit of increase"

Sought to undo what good that would abide.



That ancient Age: a son and father cower;

Death claims the one; and all grief...the other.

Across the seas--destruction: peopled Towers...

And Death claims all--to the grief of mothers. Some



Seven years--and waiting's stripped away

Beyond the course of honor and justice...

Across the seas-verve sought to route the day;

By so "courting"night terrors as success.



Now, ancient Age lays claim to sons and daughters

Of "armored brother" and "brother occupied"...

Across the seas--destruction spills the borders:

And Death claims all--only death abides....
