These details filled the daily news;
and caused such int'rest, vast!
'twas nothing else important now;
all eyes, on this were cast!

But my reaction, dif'frent was
to this front page attack.
I sensed collapsing towers when
she "moved on" six years back!

It seemed my central core had been
smashed into by a thrust,
which sent me tumbling; falling,
crashing in a heap of dust!

And as I floundered weak and spent;
my life caught in a churn,
...was shown my towers; splendid weren't!
I'm grateful...such, did learn!

With help from others, slowly I
emerged from the debris.
I need to ne'er forget the strong
effect, it had on me!

A crisis 'twas! Though, headlines weren't
inspired from this state!
The world din't pay much heed to it;
'twas only on my plate!

But time has passed; each day addressed.
I've tried to carry on.
Those sturdy towers strong and tall
were broken and then gone!

But now these structures are rebuilt
quite dif'frent than before.
And their resemblance to what was,
is slight; the same no more!

So, when you're certain something's firm
...keen-sightedness, this lacks!
Those towers fell and mine did too!
Be mindful of these acts!

But when we're there and facing this
...can seem, it has no worth.
But fire clears the forrest land
and brings new growth, rebirth!
