"Sketching From Our Brains"



Hi All – this is a melding between our son and myself – c/ork



Sketching From Our Brains”

2/25/18

Nightmares in the day
Names without flashbacks
Nearer to death.

Angels hovering over
Alertness finding cover
Attacks without warning

Night without fog within mists
No light and shadows remain
Nearer to my brothers lost.

Bravery never questioned
Bravado the shiny boots
Beginnings within ends

Notes and letters found
Never forgotten the men
Nearer the nemesis awaits

Clarity without knowing
Clashing cymbals soundless
Careening into caverns

Noises without sound
Nights without days over again
Nearer to the enemy

Doubtless is the vision
Daring in preparations
Death there lingering

Not knowing a return
Never fearing death silently stealth
Nearer the approach

Anger fully under control
Anticipation gladly vacant
Angels hovering over

Not now, not then over again
Neither today nor yesterday
Nearer my God to thee!
