Healing Field

Healing Field



A field of healing
Of stripes and stars and memories
Beneath each flying flag
A name a date a picture
Walk the field
Wander between the poles
Relive the horror of 9/11
And the hope of 9/12
Grandkids impressed but still
Has it already lost some meaning
To them to us
Should anything that turns us to the One hope for peace be forgotten?
Wander between the poles
Walk the field
A name a date a picture
Beneath each flying flag
Of stripes and stars and memories
A field of healing

acThe emotion of the place is oozes from each line.

Here poetry trumps prose unequivically.
