GREAT poem. It all came back to me as I read this, that movie I saw about the event so long ago. You chose two great events from history to show us!

Yes, 'twas an epic show that was immensely engaging, for in the end, death was unswerving, facing it without a sign of fear, yet instead, donned a welcoming for the nexus, bittersweet it was, Andrea, thank you for your well-rounded tour, Aloha! William

interesting write, William, reminded me of a movie where the one man was a warlock, but died with the rest of the man as his choosing. Hugs Eve
