A normal morning — laughter as soft as the dawn,
Fresh uniforms, dreams tucked away with care in bags,
Sparkling eyes with promise for the morning after,
Light feet on the journey to the air.
Children who drew airplanes in their books,
Whose souls hummed to the rhythm of engines,
Had taken that flight as boarding hope,
Not aware that hope falls from the sky, too.
Parents at the pane, waving,
Smiles as warm as sun on schoolyard grounds
Unknowing those waves were last goodbyes,
Or the blue sky would claim so much love.
The aircraft departed, a silver bird against morning clouds,
But dreams break sooner than wings,
And prayers screamed up into soundless heaven,
Sometimes find no place to touch down.
When the news arrived, time stood still —
Phones ringing, voices shattering, hearts breaking.
Mothers collapsed to the floor, fathers stared at walls,
Brothers and sisters grasped at thin air
Wishing it weren’t so, to wind the clocks back.
Empty desks in Milestone halls,
Names still spoken in trembling roll calls,
Lunchboxes unopened, books uncompleted,
As if the children might return to claim them.
The taste of burnt metal remains in memory,
But more destruction is in living hearts:
The empty chairs at dinner tables,
Birthdays shrouded in sorrow,
Report cards always blank, diplomas never reached.
In the vacant spots of classrooms,
Friends write to ghosts,
Fingers following the outline of faces
Smiling only in pictures now.
The black box might inform us how,
But never why,
Nor bring back laughter echoing
Down Milestone’s shining halls.
And in sleep, parents hear the noise,
Of small shoes racing down empty houses,
And shadows spring by bedroom doors,
Before waking with hurt sharp as loss.
They were merely children —
With poems unwritten, loves unspoken,
Tomorrows gone to metal and flame.
Wings that flew in hope,
And never returned.
