For Shoshanna Johnson |

|
Stay!
... when all the words have torn your heart
from the flag.
Stay!
Liberty is all that is left!
... to us,
your name,
your pain,
wounded and so afraid,
Shoshanna!
You lay in pain
so far away.
... but Stay!
You are my dear sister from another war!
Stay!
You have given me your hand and cried
aloud.
Stay!
You and I have touched the beauty
upon the floor of an eternal sky.
Stay!
... remember who,
and what, we are Shoshanna!
One Brother!
One Sister!
Both Soldiers who fought,
for one nation,
and all nations,
One Brother
and One Sister!
Together...
Eternally. |
