it was a day
not like
any other day

drawn to the bridge
heedless of the call

they gathered
in a traffic crawl

smiling on their way
not knowing what
the seconds held

beating hearts
living
lives
that
soon
would
be
distinguished

left behind
moving forward
another world beckons



i cannot help myself today...i think of all those families lives forever changed...feeling vunerable...remembering to live each moment as if it were my last..i'm going to go home and hug my dog, she'll lick my face and all will be well...

    Too true, so poignant. Think I'll go and seek refuge in Pepper's loving touch, too. Beautiful poetry.

    kiz...thanks for smiling...im kinda scared to go over the bridge home...tho it's not very far down...it's time to go home...but i'm hesitating for no real reason...remembering when i was a young teen age girl and how important my mommy was to my existence...she's gone now...but what a difference she made in my life...i find myself praying for that girl...she didn't speak at all so i don't know her name...her daddy and sister did all the talking...
