Since September 11
By Mary Morgan


  

 

I've found a place where I can be
between before and after.

That darkened day is haunting me.
We choose now
Peace?  Disaster?

And from this place I see the moon
Spread light across the sky
An autumn river thick with fish
coming to birth and die.

And in this place
My family, friends
live deep within my heart
Whatever happens they are here
In oneness, not apart.


And from this place
I send a prayer
Surrounding an earth in strife
That people all across the world
Behold the gift of life.
