9/11 Found Poem

We Won't Forget 

Two massive square voids sited within the footprints

there's more than one way to soar

the pooled waters drain 

the falling water exerts its ancient power to console

there's a final gesture that seems designed to symbolize grief being drawn away at last.

 Promise to be both a powerful and a contemplative space

before the backdrop of two giant, churning memory machines

names are engraved, 2,983, including everyone

eventually, as the surroundings return to normal

the final architects of the 9/11 memorial will be the people who pass through it every day.

9/11 Memorial 9/11/2012 http://theinspirationroom.com/daily/commercials/2011/9/september-11-memorial.jpg 

This memorial is absolutely breathe taking. I believe it captures the grief of the grief of people but yet takes them to a calm, peaceful place. The water I believe is almost like saying give me all your griefs and let me take them. Although you won't forget 9/11 let me help ease your oain, I'll take to sadness away and bring you closure. 

The people who died are remembered in a magical way. The engraving of names near friends or co workers was ingenious.You get a sense of knowing they are with the people they loved to be around at work.

I think people are going to go there because they want to remember and to try and bring new associations to the place instead of just sadness, grief, and death. With it being a park people will hopefully have happy times there but also remember the tragedy that was thrust upon the city not long ago.
