Memorial Day Meditation 2

As I remember
Those lights stolen by our wars
Praying that we’ve learned

A Memorial Day Haiku 

In Flanders fields
Amidst poppies and lark song
Lie our lost lessons

The pursuit of war 

​Those who pursue war 

Will doubtlessly find its wares 

Collected anguish 

A Memorial Day Meditation

Upon these moments
Fields of grass with stone scribed names
Silence tells the tale
