Love that never leaves

Writen in memory of 9/11

Love that never leaves

Do you hear that noise? 
It is the sound of peace.

Quiet, all consuming,
Deafening in its intensity.

Yet, ever so peaceful, like inside of a church.
Or a lift ride up a snowy mountain.

Never alone if you can listen,
Never alone if you can believe.

Never alone with our loved ones close,
Reach out and touch, you will feel that love.

Love that never leaves.


J J McCarrick 2003
