A Wrinkle In Time Poem by Susan Lacovara
A Wrinkle In Time
I unpack the folded flag
That flew that day
Against the sunniest of blue skies
Remembering...
It started as a day
Like any other
September sweetness
Sweeping across the early hours
Only to be shattered by unthinkable events
In an instant
A wrinkle in time
That which was beautiful
And mine
In that exact moment
Forever altered and redefined
Sunlight turned to ash
As steel so strong gave way
To leveling evil
In the cascade of crumbling concrete
I could not count the tears
The skyline shifted
Sixteen years now gone by
A wrinkle in time
I unfold my flag that flew that day
As it had every other day
Before that awful day
Recommitting me to the love of country
Proud of my freedoms
Ever resolute in my resilience
I am taken back to those minutes
That seemed to last an eternity
Yet feel forever fresh
I chose t. read this poem because I loved that book. The subject here, however, is much more somber, yet beautifully expressed. I remember all the events of that day. Where I was, my young toddler and infant child, the fear and the unknown, in the knowledge that this time would change everything. The positive was the reaffirmation of love for country, which you aptly express here. Thanks for sharing this poem Susan.
