Blue black early morning sky,
Iridescent moon ,
Challenging the sun for relevance,
Destined to fail,
It will not retreat without a fight,
Not unlike the courageous man,
On the cusp of battle,
Facing mortality,
Willingly sacrificing himself,
In the face of imminent defeat,
All for a greater cause.
~~ D. R. DiFrancesco ~~
By D. R. DiFrancesco
Bow your heads and pray,
Those lost on that tragic day,
Live on in our hearts.
*************************************
The scattered debris,
Charred and lifeless in that field,
Breaking the silence.
*************************************
The two titans fall,
Waking a sleeping giant,
From it’s lethargy.
*************************************
A symbol of might,
Flame and confusion consume,
Still bravery shone.
