Silent ,
the waters lie undisturbed ,
and they
and they all ,
are gone forever
though their memory abides ,
and that is all
there is to say ,
for now ,
that their memory abides
and they are gone ,
and the waters
lie undisturbed now
and silent.
( see footnote to Hudson River Interlude for further elucidation)
Very poignant! When one is so awestruck & overwhelmed by grief ,as it was the case of 9/11 ,this is how one reacts _words become less & less as feelings take over-could one have done better than Louis Kasatkin ?
Bunch of flowers for the grief wetted memories, I salute you Sir Louis Kasaktin for the beautiful lines.
Evoking a keen sense of sadness of that day, for all who lost loved ones, and those of us who remember.
