ANGEL, YOU ARE ALWAYS IN OUR HEARTS
9-11-01

 

TWILIGHT

 Tomorrow’s running towards me

The day the music died is almost here

And I cannot bear to see that Tuesday dawn

But still it creeps and it draws near

I know I will never see the blue sky the same again

I will never see the horizon through innocent eyes

I can’t see a plane cut through the clouds any more

Without hearing three thousand goodbyes

What do you tell yourself when each day’s over

And your mind keeps saying it can’t be so

What do you say to soothe yourself

When your heart just will not let go

And tomorrow’s racing towards me

The day the music died is drawing near

As Monday reaches a false, serene twilight

That hateful dawn is almost here

And in each haze of twilight

I see you slowly walking to me

At least that’s what I pretend inside

Because you’re the one I want to see

What can I tell myself when each day’s over

And my mind is certain it can’t be so

What can I say to soothe myself

When this heart just cannot let you go

That clear, perfect blue sky will never be perfect again

That horizon is forever corrupted in my eyes

Every plane that cuts through the clouds

Screams three thousand goodbyes

And tomorrow is bearing down the tracks

The day the music died is almost here

As Monday blazes a peaceful, lying twilight

That mournful dawn keeps drawing near

And in that haze of the tenth’s twilight

I can still see you here with me

Even if it’s just a beautiful lie, just pretend

Because you’re the only one I want to see

Can I still reach you after six long years

Can I still see your eyes so bright

Can I hold your hand just one last time

Just one time, can I lose this fight

So I can still feel your heart beat in rhythm with mine

And you can see me once more, just one more time

In this twilight

My name is Cade Duel Gullickson. In December I had a book of poetry published called "Somebody's Hero: Remembering 9-11-01." All royalties earned by the author are being donated to a FDNY charity called "Fallen Brothers," http://www.fallenbrothers.org. On this site, you will find links to on-line book stores that the book is available at, some poems that are included in the book, as well as articles and photos of Angel Juarbe Jr, one of the firefighters who was killed at the Towers that day, and some general articles and photos about 9-11-01..

This book is for anyone who lost someone on 9-11-01. It is also for anyone who felt the impact of that day on their lives. From the beginning, in the surreal hours following the attacks, continuing on through nearly two full years, the poems are written through “the eye” of many different people: the victims, the firefighters who fought to save all they could, the families and friends who lost someone, wives who lost husbands, parents who lost children, children who lost fathers and mothers, the firefighters and emergency workers who survived, the spirits of those lost, the World Trade Center herself among them. The emotions span the spectrum: disbelief, horror, stubborn denial, resignation, grief, acceptance, and, finally, a semblance of peace. It is this author’s testament to those lost that dark day and to those they left behind, to make a promise that we will never forget.
