scars of war

from ‘The Way of Grass’

 

 SCARS OF WAR*

scars of the war

bleed in my heart

  memories...

 

* June 22, 1941

 

 THE LAST HALT*

 

a dawn in spring

a clock-hour halt

all that remains

 

when grass is rather hot

 

to have a snack

to take a little nap

to brace the hearts

 

and win that bloody war

 

* May 9, 1945

So many fought to save a way .. .. And we that lived despite the scars, remember the ones who could not return, but are forever here in our hearts ..
