A strong breeze ripples
the bay and rattles
the marsh reeds.
Boats chug in
and out of the canal
with little wake.
Others drift along
fishing or seeking
peace and quiet.
Fair weather wisps
of clouds float
in the sky.
But, when I look out
to the horizon,
I see nothing.
Waves of fear
and anger, rage
and sorrow return
along with the remorse
and helplessness
I felt as I watched
black smoke rise
and Towers fall.
And as years pass
there will always
be an emptiness
when I look
for the city skyline.

I think you nailed it here. All those emotions are pertinent to understanding the reaction - and you conveyed the vision well.
Keep writing. |

Consider me as having reiterated the prior to comments... they're dead on.
I love that it wasn't until the end that you put this into perspective. By then, you had me rapt... and in the end, you totaled me.
Another fabulous write.
