Before 9/11 I loved to fly
Now, the thought makes my heart beat so swift I know I will die
I try to be strong, try not cry
Inside I know that if I board I’ll die
Taking 3 day trains
Why do I try to explain
To them it’s a tired old refrain
They tell me it’s no big deal
If it’s your time your name will come up on the big wheel
But it wasn’t their fate 9/ll gave a shiny embossed seal
Do the shower at 3 am rinsing off imaginary charcoal and smoke
Are they there when I scream out and Nick has to poke and poke
All because I’m still choking on Pentagon smoke
Nope they just don’t understand it’s my new reality
This is post 9/11 me
I know you can’t live in fear
I love you but I can’t get on that plane my dear
***********************
Though this is a poetic journey, clearly my Wednesday Wish is to fly again. The world has become too large living it on land. There isn’t always someone going to be my side to hold my hand. This Wednesday Wish is more like a prayer Lord give me the strength I need to soar, to fly, and the faith to know I won’t die.
Peace, Blessings and Style
