VIETNAM POETRY
VIETNAM POETRY
Do not stand at my grave and weep...I am not there. I do not sleep. I am a thousand winds that blow.....I am the diamond glints shining on the snow. I am the sunlight on ripened grain.....I am the gentle falling autumn rain. When you awake in the morning's hush.....I am the swift and graceful rush....of quiet birds in circling flight....I am the soft star-shine which glows at night. Do not stand at my grave and cry....I am not there....I did not die.
The Death of a Soul
"Dressed to Kill"
Did you know that I died in Vietnam?
It was not a bloody death. Only the death of my soul. It was the essence of life that gave wholeness. The link with God and the universe. The inner substance that provides security!
Especially in those desperate hours. It was the Spiritual Self that died. K.I.A. 1968! There was no blood, no tangible evidence, no medal, no letter home announcing the deceased.
No prayers and no tears were shed. Nor has any wall been erected, nor any memorial built.
Nothing! Only a sence of violation. an emptyness a change, an inner void. An ever present sense of loss. the kind of loss you feel when you lose a loved one. A heartache that lingers with you, You are left struggling without your Spirituality or wholeness.
Only Agony remains!
