Vietnam Reflections 19

vietnam reflections 19

we are heading north toward the high country
light footfalls on the thickly carpeted jungle floor
laying miles of ground behind us
heading to where we were before
not one word is spoken
not one leaf is broken
our silence intact
we are all of one mind
this time no one will be left behind
we are heading back
to where it all began
before we so hastily departed
we are going back 
battle scarred and hardened 
we are of one mind 
and that being
that this time
we will finish what was started.

Ej, I will not ask you what you think. I just learned how you feel. That to me means the heart is talking.
