dual pillars
bleeding fire
hope
becomes dust
thoughts
eternally frozen

so true Daddy.. time stood still that day.and hope turned to ashes.. I won't forget that day not ever.. the images that your words create are vivid and still fresh are the images of the terror that day.. I remember where I was when it happened. I was at work and saw it all unfold on t.v.
Excellent job on this one Daddy
good luck
