9/11 Soulmate

Would that I could
Touch the sky
and
Wish that I could
envelope the earth

Every soul
Lost
Would still be
Here amidst us.

Would that I could
hold the sun
and
Wish that I could
stop the wind


Every day
Now
Would still be
The day before.

Would that I could
Lengthen the nights
And
Wish that I could
Hold the midnight


Every soul
Lost
Would still be
Sleeping amongst us.

Would that I could
Sway their hearts
And
Wish that I could
Cloud their minds

Every devil
Now
Would still be
The angel before.
