hand-written signs
 
more than a moment of honor, of silence,
a shadow on their lives
Their loss is so profound...
hand-written signs, something tangible,
their prayers, their petitions,
They're honoring the dead...
They cry for each one held prisoner,
captives of Moskal’s horde...
 
their faces paint their sorrow
signs they hold so tightly,
Their loss is so profound
shattering hope, their lives,
their pleas written boldly
imprinted words of power
held high to honor
all those they love...

hand-written signs
 
signs for the Moment of Honor,
seen on Instagram and elsewhere
written by Ukrainians, for their loved ones
killed and held prisoners still...
