They do not march now, but they still stand-- shoulder to shoulder in quiet granite lines. Each flag breathes like a memory fluttering in the hush between heartbeats. They are not just names, not just dates-- they are echoes of last letters, mud-heavy boots, songs sung beneath a foreign sky. We walk between them, heads bowed, and feel the weight of freedom we never had to earn. This silence is not...

Flowers for a new day, Flowers for a fresh start, I’m embracing a new beginning, A way of winning. Flowers of spring, A blooming garden, The joy of my mother’s heart, She sings a new song. Flowers for tomorrow, Yesterday was a withered meadow, Days...

From '45 to now, a growing light, Resistance heroes, Jews lost to night. Roma and Sinti, their stories untold, We honor their pain, their voices of old. In Indonesia, another fight bled, Peace missions...

Her griping nails, peircing through my neck, blood paints my shirt red, the gripping stiffening. Gasping for breath, begging and pleading through my eyes, voice choked inside me. My face turns blue, body start shutting component to component, wrestling off her...

In the halls of learning, where whispers grow, Two hearts met, began to glow. A glance, a smile, a moment shared— A silent bond, unspoken, yet declared. Through bustling streets and crowded halls, They walked together, love enthralled. A sip of tea, an evening stroll— In laughter and talks, their hearts felt whole. But love was shadowed by a wall, A faith divide, a...

I wear a poppy every day And always there’s someone who’ll say, “You’ve got it wrong! That’s not the way, My man, you’re disrespectful!” You know the type. They take delight, Dictating what is wrong, what’s right. But really I don’t give a sh*te. I’m not at all regretful. “Not on your hat! It’s all askew! The leaf at eleven, not six or two!” What...

2025.1.26 It is Australia day, congratulations. There were so many different opinions. National day or Devided day? Celebrate the Country or Morn the Invasion's history? To avoid the political heated debates I headed to Sorrento beautiful bay, To soak up the warm sun's ray, and let the winds softly brushed my face.

The Blazer’s Put Away The blazer’s put away now, The medals in their drawer; The polished shoes and formal tie Back where they were before. Commemorations over, Reunions all finished; Stories spun, marching done, Old friendships undiminished. Bands no longer play now, Applauding crowds have gone. But every day, each in their way, Remembering goes on. ...
