294 Entries for “towers”

  1. Towers?! Ok, I know about two towers. Actually, two pairs of towers, each of them in different sides of the ocean. One pair was destroyed a few years ago. The other was built a few years ago. Tit for tat I guess. Only lives can’t be rebuilt.

  2. My mind is a watchtower, from high up I can see my emotions scurrying around attempting to make me complete. I am incomplete; I am a work in progress.

  3. The obvious choice is not what I will go to. Here we go; the chakras, they are like towers, climbing higher until you reach the top, the ending. Nirvana. You know, the view you see when you finally get there.

  4. A tower is a man made building that ims tall and has may rooms as consequence. Towers can also exsit because of the geographical situation of a certain place. For example in japan, because of the small space it has, the goverment has thought of making al the buildings tower like to save on space. In business owning a tower can mean a symbol of the power and the wealth that you posses. It shows how important you are and a way of intimidating the people around you.

  5. Both of them, the twins as they were called, brothers that worn born together, built together, loved together, came crashing down; a barrage of concrete, glass, plastic, and flesh. The smell, intoxicating, the sound, clenching, the horror, unimaginative. The twins, the towers, the 3000 souls (and counting) were lost to the smoke and tears. Remembered by loved ones, by strangers with goosebumps, by ordinary people, and we the last generation, are the last who will remember them, the victims of the 9/11 attacks.

  6. the giraffeees lumber toward us while we sit in the jeep. The baby is curious but stays beweetn it’s safe legs of its mother. They reach their heads up into the trees gab and pull.

  8. Are fabulous things. Rapunzel had one and everything worked out just great for her. I always wanted a tower when I was a kid. In a book called “Anastasia” about a girl called Anastasia they found a house where she got to have a tower for her bedroom. Sometimes I wish I could still have a tower.

  11. A day of rememberence. This day so many years ago our nation was shook, but united. Do u remember what you were doing at the time? I wanted to be home, then wished I was around people. You don’t want to be alone during a time like that.

  12. I stop and wait. Wind, wind. Darkness and a light I can’t describe. Like the sky offers no protection from the sun, or whatever it is…

  13. towers make me think of how small we are and how there is so much out there, but we just see the small things. we are just minute people and out there, we dont even know. so much goes on and so much is out there that we cant see !

  14. She could see the towers out of her right eye. The closer she came to the bottom the more she could make out the scene. It had been three years since she had been back. The memories came flooding to her mind

  15. They stood tall. Taller than you or I. They provided shade for our weak eyes. It had been years since we’d seen the light of day. A man walks by, observing us observing them. He gives a brief smile. We smile back. He can tell we’re not from around here.

  16. rest in peace

  17. For the first time in her life, she felt strong, powerful. As she walked trough the multiple towers of the castle, the castle she had dreamed of walking so many times before, she felt like she was finally where she was supposed to be. Like everything she had ever done had somehow brought her there, to that exact moment and that precise place. And that, well that was all she could really ask for.

  18. held up inside,
    a tower just for me
    where all my secrets lie,
    waiting to sail across the sea.

    To free myself
    from this prison I made
    strung up my own chains
    to keep everyone out.

    Now I’m locked in,
    and no one can get me out.
    Forever in my tower,
    of sorrow and doubt.

  20. Towers are big. They are usually two…in my mind anyway and they are protecting something, Maybe a castle. I thought of towers in London by the river although Im not even 100% sure that they are towers. And also rapunzel with long hair at the top of a tower, waiting to be saved by her prince…

  22. On this day of all days. remember, reminding, remaining, rebounding. Towers go up, towers go down, empires built and destroyed.

  23. twin towers fell today 11 years ago. so so so sad.
    thinking about all the families and all the people in the world who’ve been impacted by them falling.
    today is a day for reflection about how we are all connected.
    no matter how far apart we are.
    we are all one.
    we are all love.

  24. “Cleverrr,” she drawled, four claws digging into the ceiling. “Clever girl. Clever, clever girl.”

    Did she see what I did there? I tried not to look her in the eye. I hadn’t screamed for help, because I knew no more articulate way to say it than to weep.

    She had caused so much pain in the span of an hour. There was no way to stop her, or to strike back. I could only watch as she scaled this tower and found no resistance in either my heart or my soul.

    From the realm of this city, to the next one. From twin peaks, twin spires, twin towers, I would remember her.

  25. There were towers everywhere in this vast city, all of golden color. They housed residents of pure-white, with colorful garbs. This place was prosperous, hence the name Prospit, and were kind, meek people.

  26. They stood at the pinnacle watching huge, crystalline dragons soar overhead. There was nothing else they could do, but wait. A sweep of a shimmering wing and the vortex surged sucking them into oblivion…

  27. I have no idea what that word means. But i guess it’s the plural from tower. A tower is a tall building, usually used for bureau offices and bussiness.

  29. Towers; tall proud giants that can transform the skyline of any city. A monument to mankind’s achievements, towers represent a new era of innovation and technology. But with the events that have unfolded eleven years ago, towers now have a new impression on the mind: Pain. Sorrow. Vengeance. The twin towers, a representation of the world market, were struck on this day eleven years ago. And since then, we have entered into two wars over it. We entered Iraq and Afghanistan to fight those who would do us harm, and to bring them to justice for what they did. We will always remember the men and women who lost those lives on that day, and the many brave souls who have died fighting for them since.

  30. We played in their shadows and always wondered who lived inside. The dwelling stood alone atop the ridge looking over the ocean. Its lonely towers seemed to sway in the wind yearning to disassemble themselves and meet the ground once again.

  31. Glass panes rise, towards the sky, touching clouds, tips heidden beaneath the mist that just waits and falls slowly down the sides

  32. There were two of them– strong, tall, pillars of light and life and of all that we stood for. They were impregnable, something no one expected to fall– bastions of hope, of peace, and of fortitude. Then they fell. They fell hard, and with it fell the hopes and dreams of our great nations.

  33. She gasped as the car swung around a blind bend on the winding road and revealed a magnificent vista of the castle. The towers stretched up to the sky like the long, lean fingers of a pearly giant.

  34. Tom lehnte sich über die Brüstung des Turms und schaute über die stille Stadt. Vor Monaten schon war das sonst allgegenwärtige Brummen verstummt. Vereinzelt irrten Menschen auf Bürgersteigen, Radwegen und Fahrbahnen umher. Langsam nahm die Dunkelheit die Straßen in Besitz und ein eisiger Wind wehte über die Plattform. Tom schloss die Tür von innen. Am Display des Fahrstuhls leuchtete eine 52. Seit wie langer Zeit wohl schon? Er nahm die Treppe nach unten, Fahrstuhlfahren war zu riskant.

  35. The towers
    One and two
    Sliced apart
    by a plane.
    Driven by
    Bad men
    Who
    Didn’t like
    US.

  36. Looking up through sheer determination with loved ones holding me up and carrying me higher. Although tears flow, there is a peace. The empty space is so full it hurts.

  37. Now I live in KL. KL is Kuala Lumpur. It is located in Malaysia. In KL, there’s a Twin Towers. Anyway, it’s same like The Lord of The Ring’s title! I LOVE TLOTR!

  39. The towers stood tall and strong like a symbol of strength and power but we found out that our strength, our power lies within us, the people, when they were attacked.

  40. Twin towers. Terrorists. Lies, conspiracy theories. These towers never got destroyed by terrorists, it’s just the American government that wants everybody to think so. It’s never happened like that. It can’t have happened like that. Who’s with me?

    ugh
