Silence

I'm not crying for you
and or crying for me
I'm crying for this man
alone by the tree

They say he has no one
no one ever comes
He can't be alone here
He should have someone

A voice from behind me
rang true and rang free 
He said to me softly
Look up and you'll see

His brothers are with him
White crosses I see
There must be five thousand
as silent as he...

was this what James here thought? Military crosses. Geee, I thought it was reference to Christ and the many who also died on crosses like He did afterwards in Rome. Me thinks James is the one that got it right. but wow, this is really deep and very nicely done. Luv, Andrea

It saddens me greatly to see society now. When you look at the many military graveyards, it's tragic to see them many who died for us to live in freedom. I have written a few poems on this sad subject. One in particular is called 'White Marble at Attention' The others and most of my works are on my website www.thehighlanderspoems.com If you have a spare moment, I would love your thoughts? >> James :)
