The
heart beats,
but, there is a stillness.
The mind races,
but, there is no thought.
There are the screams,
but, there is no sound.
The pain surrounds us
from bloody and bloodless wound.
We gather together.
The flag drape as shroud.
Tears flow,
Candles light.
We are together
yet alone,
with the heart beat,
mindless thought,
silent screams
the paninful wound.
We awake to the heart beat
the mindless thought.
We hear the silent screams.
We feel the painful wound.
We gather together,
to sing the songs of the flag.
Tears still flow,
Candles still light.
We are still together,
yet alone,
with heart beat,
mindless thoughts,
silent screams,
Bloodless wound.
We gather together
for comfort;
the Flag, the candles, the songs.
Tears still flow, candles still light.
We are still together,
the Country as a whole.
