Lest we forget - again

Standards hang static while                            
Twilight pinpricks
Gleam in the velvet dusk

Tunes long past prime
Reach forward
With cadence and voice

Aged eyes and feet
Measure the beat
Swing to the rhythm again
Memories take wing
Heavens thrum
With echoes of glory and pain         

Relics assembled together
Lest we forget
To shake the hands of heroes

  1. Soon enough after the real war is fought in the nation we will either be shaking the heroes hands or all be cast as relics of a day gone by. Vote progressive.

  2. Always do, WM.

    Always mindful of what came before, to light the way on the path to the future.
