Irish Author Releases Poem in Memory of the Victims of September 11th

Irish Author Darren Magee Today Releases a Poem In Memory of the Victims of September 11th

WINDOWS ON THE WORLD

I SAT AND GAZED THROUGH THE WINDOWS ON THE WORLD
MANHATTAN SKYLINE, ITS TRUE WHAT THEY SAY
UNLIKE ANY OTHER TO THIS DAY
LIBERTY HER TORCH ALOFT, CENTRAL PARK IT IS THIS CITYS HEART

THE TOWERS SOARED UP HIGH INTO THE SKY
TIPPING HEAVENS GATE, NOT KNOWING THEIR FATE

PEOPLE, SO MANY PEOPLE, WALKING, TALKING, WORKING
FAMILY, FRIENDS, CHILDREN:
ALL OF THE THINGS THAT TIE US TOGETHER
TIME, UNSTOPPALBE TIME STOPPED OUR HEARTS, CHANGED OUR WORLD FOREVER

AND THE PEOPLE ABOARD THE PLANES, WHAT CAN WE SAY?
TEARS THEY FALL LIKE RAIN, SUCH IS THE TERRIBLE PAIN
COURAGEOUS ACTS TO SAVE OTHERS LIKE ANY BROTHER
FRANTIC CALLS TO ONE AND ALL, SPECIAL WORDS WE CAN RECALL
TO PERISH IN SUCH A WAY? WE DONT BELIVE THIS WAS GODS WORK THAT DAY

LOOKING THROUGH THIS BROKEN GLASS OF LIVES LEFT BEHIND
HEARTS AND MINDS MUST WALK ALONG THE ROAD,
BUILD AGAIN FROM WITHIN STRONGER THAN WE'VE EVER BEEN

WINDOWS ON THE WORLD, IS IT REALLY GONE?
LOOK AGAIN UP TO THE SKY, SEE A MIRAGE IN THE DISTANCE?
HEAVENS GATE IT'S SO RESISTANT

LIKE AN ETERNAL FLAME, WE SHALL ACHIEVE OUR AIM
EVERLASTING FREEDOM IN ALL OF THEIR NAMES
