9/11 One Year On

Today, I looked up to the sky each time I heard a jet.
Enduring visions crowd my thoughts, events I can't forget.

An ocean's width can't lessen such powerful imagery,
Events, beyond the dreams of fiction, played out on TV.

And one year on we live our lives much as before, and yet,
Today, I looked up to the sky each time I heard a jet.
