Notes About The Poem
In Loving Memory of Fallen Asheville, NC Firefighter Captain Jeff Bowen ~

Honor Him

In the tongues of a July hellfire arson,
he couldn't breathe,
became fallen in the flames.
A hero of life,
his undying duty immortal,
the alarm still sounds.

As his brethren salute him,
stand, honor him ~
his funeral procession draws near,
still eternally passes silent,
but thunderous within the beats
of our grateful and collective hearts. ~
