Memorials

On this day set aside for the purpose, I think of the honorable dead.

Many places, faces, causes, names. Many people who would by now be dead by other means if not taken by war, but with longer lives behind them.

Many who might still be living.

I can say little, alone with my little keyboard, and nothing that adds any meaning to the sacrifice and the loss of those families left behind.

It seems almost better to be silent. To think quietly, and let the weight of those lost lives be felt.
