When a soldier falls, they fall also
Who loved him. And we, who so
Serve in kind, must see they, too,
Are never left
Behind
above my Father’s bed,
shone a mother of pearl cross,
faithful, to his end.

Her voice resonates
Strongly in my delighted ear;
My soul smiles -
As if she'd not died years ago
And been shut away in a wall ...
(1943-2003)
He was a renegade.
He was a rebel all his days.
Then something broke inside. And I, I --
I cried and cried when Warren died.
Wish there was a petition
for books we want
to turn into a movie
if the movie producers
actually listened to us
that'd be sooo groovy!
THE ECHOING DREAM
King’s voice echoing:
Despite Sisyphean trials,
We’re overcoming–
We’re as the waxing moon;
Moving onto fulfillment:-
today’s conch bead lei -
aloha Lahaina &
lokelani rose
nod & prayer from the mainland
grieving your loss, your song heard
I can still see
Your smile as it
Brightens up the day
Your ray of sunshine
And energy, was so strong
That it rubbed off on
Others making them
Smile too
Sunrise, days prelude
Birds sing, people about, life
Angels get their wings
In honor of those that fell 12/14/2012
She’s gone, and now we’re worlds apart
What’s left is a hole in my heart
I know I must go on
Attempt to stay strong
And forgive, though it’s hard to restart
I know there is simply nothing I can honestly say
To make all of the soul-wrenching pain of grief go away,
Because I too was there crying with all of you that very day.
A well travelled lass named Adelaide
Innovative and never staid,
Unmarried,single but no old maid-
A short life,latterly full of pain,
Her epitaph,the American cinquain.
His funeral
unattended
His pallbearers
—the written word
His gravesite
an ashen memory
His legacy
—in futures heard
(Villanova Pennsylvania: June, 2016)
The policeman,is dead.
Trying to give a ticket.
Death=gift for service!

May there be a moratorium
on every kind of crematorium
May all flesh be returned to Mother Earth
and our spirit speed its way to Heaven
~ with dignity, in memoriam
Those were my teacher's comments,
as she handed back my poem.
And as I walked dejectedly back home,
I ripped my masterpiece to pieces
and flung my failing words ~ at the birds.
Flags
Miniature standards
Plunged by
A child’s hand
into turrets
Of a castle
of golden sand
Long washed clean
By rolling tides.
Sometimes
A bugle plays
On
Omaha Beach
A pet no one would ever trade
Such loyalty of the lasting,loving kind
Her memory now in cross-stitch made
No replacement,were we to ever find
Still,now in our memory-bank entwined.
JFK, he was shot dead
sixty years ago today
Camelot, it fell apart
America lost her way

Children were very good back then
And were smart, hardworking
Even if they had nothing to eat
Now the children are stressed
Because of technology
And they tend to have
High blood pressure.
A crawling held a walled frame as passer-by beheld too
A football helmet and high school pennant encased against a wall
Tapestry of day shades painted wall of ledged held rolled flag.
somewhere in Wailing Wall
mother places last letter from her boy
recites heartbreaking prayer

Kimo 6-10-7 in memoriam
Canda hosted queen elizabeth to cheers
It now applauds an ss man
That most would jeer.'
Am i missing something?
What are the values of that land?
On what set of morals does its
Governance now stand?
In memoriam I forgot who I am
In my mind, in my soul
I just don’t know
Who we are?
How can I focus on memory?
When I don’t even know you or me?
