Peace is like writing poetry;
Its own reward. The last parade
before the ending becomes
the last event.
.
Troops come home, broken
and tired, standing in a yesterday
mirror hoping a poem will come,
a catchy tune, a ballad for being
out of harm.
.
So I sing and sing or write
it down and make it float
for anyone to find and heed
as if my fingers were a guitar,
my imagination the strings.

anti-war posture, anti-death statistics. Topical.
How exquisitely it floats!
How exquisitely it floats! You turned the weariness and trauma of war into a melody of hope. Skillfully penned and still relevant today as when you wrote it.

Broke it into 3 poems. Theme swings - so more about 1 thing each. Poems are always fresh when reread or newly read. :D
