*I stand here alone in silence with eyes wet Leaves fall all over the ground where I used to walk There is nothing left here that seems normal or kind Everything seems so alone to me anymore Once more I come here hoping for reconciliation Your bodies rest nowhere I know of or can find now Beyond an eternity with your dreams scattered out Pain still rests here and in my mind I settle down Days spent wondering why time sat still The trickles of water lead me into darkness again The sun shines off the water and into my eyes Vivid reflections bring tears to my dry cheeks Snow falls and leaves blow some time later This blanket will quiet me as I walk through once more I will feel almost everything and nothing at all Time steals my memories as God heals my soul* Thank you for taking the time to read my poem. I have made several trips to the 9/11 memorial to visit friends still missing but not from my heart. Lots of thoughts go through my head as I look for their names while reading the others to the left and to the right. If your thinking about going, definitely do so. Below is a photo I took while reflecting.. ![P1030067xx.jpg](https://steemitimages.com/DQmbPsQevHVLKaNVa1wcJUjmSn4hh2KB3i47P3HawRCa51c/P1030067xx.jpg) Photo By BDMiller

This photo shook me. Very beautiful and moving. Most of all its relevance. Thank you for your work. and may this tragic event always be remembered not by the terror that it brought but by the memories of those people we have lost.

I 100% agree. I've visited the museum a few times; that's a reminder of the terror in my opinion (but still I see the point and the intrigue). I absolutely love the fountains though. We can spend hours there..less if the sun is beating down on you. I think it's a bit more calming for those who still have no remains for closure. I like to focus on the memories I have. Thank you and I am happy you appreciated this. **Have A Great Day and Weekend Too!**
