TIME STANDING STILL
Absent but never forgotten
for there are no more tomorrows
as time stands still
waiting for those
who have failed to return
missing from our presence
not from our minds
in this moment they are lost
trying to find their way
Disappearing into the mist of war
unable to see clearly
beyond the heavy dews
their screams our silence
their wants our dreams
their emotions our tears
their peace our fears
alone they are not
alone they will never be
Knowing they feel
our prayed thoughts
somehow someway
soothing, entering into their souls
guiding them into the light
warming them in the darkness of night
speaking with them
in our dreams
reaching, holding them
offering breath for them to breathe
They are part of us
as we are them
living for now in separate places
them, above the sun and stars
we, below and not so far
our hands soon to clasp
for it's in God's will
but for now
time is standing still
