The rain was uninvited
but arrived nonetheless
defying us to reject it.
It seemed not to care
and gently fell, not soaking
but simply caressing our faces.
They remind us that this day
recalls another, ten
years gone, when
it was our tears,
and the ashes of towers
and lives that fell,
pooled in the streets, that
entwined with our innocence
and were washed off into history.
if beauty can be had from such sadness, there it is, my love.
