A Nation Wept

A nation wept

The Mothers
The Fathers
The Children
The Unborn.

A nation wept

The tears of horror
The tears of loss
The tears of fear
The tears of unbelief.

A nation wept

In huddles
In aloneness
In solitude
In mass.

A nation wept

Moments of brokenness
Moments of insecurity
Moments of anger
Moments of togetherness.

A nation wept

Then bolstered
Then resolved
Then rebuilt
Then remembered.

A nation wept no more.

Remembrance of Chaos

Written by: MR aka Naila Moon of the Grey Wolf

The first fireball had been seen early in the morning.

Chaos!

Then another.

More chaos and unbelief.

Frantic calls.

People running.

People glued to the TV.

Emergency vehicles everywhere.

Then,

A husband and father heard to say, “Let’s roll!”

Another, “…three of us are going to do something about it.”

More grief.

An eerie quiet fell upon the cities.

In a hush that had not happened since Kennedy died.

Rescue and hope began,

As silent tears fell for people unknown.

The world seemed in chaos now.

What to do? 

Where to go?

Are we safe?

Questions unanswered.

New world born.

Note:

This is my story written in response to the picture prompt given as above and for the new meme I found who's blog button is below.

The two people I mention in this story deserve to be recognized for their words and the heroism...Todd Beamer and Tom Burnette Jr. 

I wish to say that all those who perished that fateful day are never forgotten and you too are also heroes in my book.
