‘Idál (Justice), 4 ‘Izzat (Might), 170 BE - Wednesday, September 11, 2013 about 11:10 AM Pacific Daylight Time
I remember,
waking up too late
to watch the morning news.
I remember,
driving to work
in unusually heavy traffic.
I remember,
the shock
when I arrived at work
and saw the new online.
I remember,
watching the news websites all day,
but I don't remember driving home.
I remember,
arriving home
and turning on the television.
I cannot forget
this day in history.

Good-bye August
Istijlál (Majesty), 13 Asmá’ (Names), 167 BE – Wednesday, August 31, 2011 about 9:14 PM Pacific Time
Good-bye August
Hello September a month to remember
I am not sure where that poem is going. I may take the second line and write a poem about September 11. It was a traumatic day. It was a day that changed our lives. At that time, I was still working outside the house. I was running late and so did not turn of the television, as a result I did not find out about the Twin Towers until after I arrived at work.
Good-bye August

A Day of Remembrance
Istijlál (Majesty), 4 ‘Izzat (Might), 165 B.E. – Thursday, September 11, 2008 about 5:25 AM Pacific Time
Today is a day of remembrance,
when a moment of silence gives us the opportunity
to say prayers for the dead.
It is a chance to say prayers
for those who
ascended suddenly to the next world
when their plane struck twin towers
or struck the Pentagon
or crashed into a field
and those who were not in the buildings
when the planes struck them.
A moment of silence
gives us a chance to say prayers for the dead
or reflect on how the deaths changed our lives
or where we were when we heard the news about
the twin towers.
September 11
is a day of remembrance
of reflection
on past events
and on those who
are no longer with us because
of those events.
Today is a day of remembrance,
and after the moment of silence
and after remembering the dead
and after saying prayers for those who ascended
suddenly into the next world,
we will continue with our day
still remembering
and still crying.
