where candles flicker
shock and horror visited -
hearts weep for lost ones
fifteen years ago
the face of history changed -
World Trade center bombed
mornings reoccur -
peace questions the wildflowers
striving without care

Let's pray for unity and peace!
I'm not so hopeful today, but I do wish for peace and justice. Thanks for the Nat King Cole song. He's a favorite.
Thanks for this remembrance of 9/11, Gillena. Indeed the face of history changed on that day & hearts still weep....but thankfully the mornings DO continue to reoccur.
A day of sombre remembrances. Nicely written :)
So much has happened since... such a parting of ways... no it will never be the same again. Yet the birds sing as before.
Prayers for unity, love and peace.. Amen.
The day of change, we can hope in the next 15 years the world will get better, but sadly i am doubtful. So much loss that day! Thank you for remembering!
Thanks for paying tribute to this day of remembrance, Gillena.
wind off the harbor
waiting for the dawn
peace questions the wildflowers

-- these are such profound, powerful lines.
A wonderful tribute to a day that has changed history.
The wildflower haiku is my favorite. Poignant. Well-written, Gillena
I love you tribute poem for 9/11. What a terrible day that was. I remember it like it was yesterday. I wish the world was a safer more secure place. Maybe we just need to acceptance and love of others. Hope all is well. Hugs-erika
The first two haiku made me sigh and reach for my heart... The last one make my heart warm with hope. Things will get better. We can (will!) make it so. ♥
The whole world remembers that day... great haikus! Love from the Netherlands
