Memorial Day

[Angharad]

Tributes to those who died in service to their country, and to those who loved and waited for them....

 

[Angharad]

heroes and loved ones
how the line blurs when we think 
of a long-lost smile

Thinking of your brother today, M., and of all the honored dead whose smiles live on in the memories of those left behind. 

[Angharad]

lilacs are blooming
purple petals grace his grave
as do his son's prayers

Pulled this from Snagg's great set list for Memorial Day. M, I don't know if I told you, but Snagg's posting his alternative radio show again in the forum late Sunday night. http://teebeedee.ning.com/forum/topics/snaggs-radio-show?page=51&am...  It would be nice if you would post a comment now and then--so far I seem to be the only one who's showing up for his hard work.

it's a war of men
creatures try to run from harm
no one ever wins

[Angharad]

we feel you near us
in all places hallowed by 
sacrifice and love

[Angharad]

today the veil thins...
i feel you strong and smiling
standing beside me

[Angharad]

the heroic dead
once laughed, cried, danced, dreamed, made lunch
and brightened our lives
