The Falling Man - Tom Junod - 9/11 Suicide Photograph - Esquire:

This picture is one that is frozen in my mind forever and it compelled me to write the following poem.
Dreamed of Flight
By Nelson R. Jacobsen
I always dreamed of flight not one such as this an end.
Envision a bird or plane not a human leaping to escape flames.
My last choice was mine and I chose to fly to my end.
With the conclusion that awaited why not soar in my last time?
I was free in these orbital days for seconds then ever after.
Do not shed tears just live your dreams not fears.
