I couldn't find the key

to the door of your here

and now

So instead I wandered 

the grave truth

that grew

That thrived in

the deepest corners 

of my mind

I walked among

tragedies and

the grand casualty  

I flew with

angels of dissolution 

and fatality 

I felt their  

grievances 

take root

And spring

into black laurels

that multiplied daily

It has brought me

to the ending

of all things

And I've seen

more than most

can handle 

This knowledge

has become a

burden

A dead weight 

dragging me

across oceans floors

I was there when

the plane fell

from dawning skies

I was there for

the terror,

for the lies they told

Author's Note

For in much wisdom is much grief, and he that increaseth knowledge increaseth sorrow.

this is so sad...and such a sad event...but you make this universal....if dwell on the past pain, or spend all summer fretting the future...what will fall bring? surely not contentment...

we stave off the good stuff with negative thinking.

nicely done.

I agree with your Author's note. Too much sadness and destruction in our world. Thank you Joshua for sharing the powerful poetry.

This a tragic scene! This is the type of scene that will numb the mortal mind. How do you hold onto your humanity after dealing with the nature of such thing as this. I have no answers so, I look to God!

I wasn't there, but I will never forget that day. It stands out in my mind like a thorn in my eye, so vivid it stings. It's hard for me even to recall that day and yet here you relate it with such finess that reading this piece somehow brings hope. Thank you.

Thank you. My heart goes out to the victims and their families. Such a senseless act and a devastating loss.

You were there, so good you just imagine the cruel fact, yes..."This knowledge has become a
burden" a deep burden in between so many hearts... no words can explain the hurt.... of this tragedy.

Deep, my friend, and on point...
