Peace March Signs – v3

The signs, their words, caught my eye

so much a part of the message

our bodies together

trying to make a change

to step back from the brink

to end this long winter.

Along with the feet marching,

were the signs, “End War”,

“Make Levees, not War”,

“Blessed are the Peacemakers”,

“Peace begins with Peace”,

“Veterans for Peace”,

“War Just Makes It Worse," or

"Is the World Safer Now?"

Many of the signs made me think,

and wonder how much the

rest of our country

thinks long and hard about

the wisdom in the war strategy

the Dogs of War on the loose.

We Walked for Peace – v2

The girls and I, the members

of the congregation, walking

to the Capitol, under the dome

down the street, on the main street

walking for peace, to rethink the

decision to fight, to raise the Dogs of War,

to loose the terrorist threat,

the extremists in the sand, in the streets

Captive in the desert, in the heat,

on the ground for these many months

watching the rise of violence,

the growing threat, of long delay

the tide turning. May we have

days of peace, in the months to come

Pearl Reconsidered – v2

For so long, in my life,

unable to discern, to appreciate

the moment of shock, or anger,

of desire for revenge, for a call to duty

to vigilance, to service to our nation

not like anything in my experience,

the attack on Pearl Harbor, the Day of Infamy,

December 7, 1941 (can you hear his voice too?)

But our lives changed, and we know their pain

the anger they felt, seventy-five years gone by

because we were visited by cowards in the skies

Kamikazes of another zealot, another madman

bent on surprise and attack on chaos

when the towers fell, we were pulled back

to the crackling radio and

FDR’s righteous indignation

We too knew what it felt like

and we will never forget

Too bad the enemy is no longer

a nation-state

About the print show at Pierce Law by Aaron Brown of November 2003. He said the prints were about the events of 9/11/01, especially the twisted metal of the bombed buildings. They came months after the attack when he finally returned to print work after a lengthy hiatus when he wrote instead. His wife shared that they all came out in a burst of activity over a single week. Aaron would only get a few hours of sleep each night and was almost working round the clock in the studio. His activities were so frenetic and continuous that he left the paints out, and would merely spray them so they remained wet and fresh.

Terror – v2

Terror found us today

Asleep, unaware
Complacent, thinking
We were Invincible
Immune from the terror
That the Atlantic
The Pacific were
Firewalls, protectors

No longer, wake up!
Ostrich raise your eyes
A different world, from beyond our shores
Coarser than we have known
Touched us today
Shook the bear, the giant,
From its slumber again.
Another day of infamy
To be avenged

We pause today – v2

We pause today, to pray,

to remember their sacrifice;

We pause today to thank

our nation’s veterans,

those who answered the call

of our country to military service.

We thank them for their service,

for their love, for their sacrifice,

for their choice to stand

in the breach for freedom.

Without them and their service,

we would not be free today.

We also thank their loved ones

the families of these veterans,

and especially the families of those

servicemen and women who

paid the ultimate price, who died,

to secure and sustain our freedoms.

We cannot overstate

our gratitude for our veterans,

for their choice to serve

and for those who are serving still

in the dark places, dangerous places,

all around our world.

Fair to Compare – v5

It is fair to compare them to Christ

though they are flawed

their human motives blur in time,

they are not so pure of heart

as the One who climbed the cross

But it is fair to compare

their sacrifice for us,

for the greater good,

not focused on themselves

that we would be free

So many of our veterans

those who chose to serve

carrying our burden

sacrificing all for us

that we would be free

Like Christ, they were in service,

submitting their will,

for a greater purpose

Offering their lives for us

that we would truly live

Though they are flawed

human motives blurred in time,

maybe they are not so pure of heart

as the One who climbed the cross

But fair to compare

their sacrifice for us,

for the greater good,

not focused on themselves

So many veterans

those who chose to serve

sacrificing all for us

that we would be free

Like Christ in service,

submitting their will,

Offering their lives for us

that we would truly live

The Wall – v6

Maybe those who believe

A piece of your soul

Is stolen with each photograph taken

Are right, though I hope not;

Reflecting back over the years,

Looking at her tortured face

In that static image,

I wonder. I hope not, for my sake.

Hard to contemplate so many stolen moments

Pieces of others’ lives captured

By my lenses, the films’ emulsion

Now sitting in dust covered albums,

yellowed envelopes and crooked frames

In that monument’s polished black marble

in other reflections, moments, captured

(for I have seen them).

She stood hunched over, frozen

Jaw clenched and hands knitted,

Holding or hugging herself

Against her chill that July.

Paralyzed by her private pain

Writ large there in public, on the Mall

Countless others had and have since

Faced their own demons.

For twenty minutes (or a little less)

I could watch her pilgrimage, her prayer

walking down into this moment, this place;

A stranger motionless that stopped me

That held my attention

And the camera’s gaze before me.

Me a voyeur, an intruder,

an unwelcome confidant.

She stood too near the names

those written on the marble

wanting to turn away;

But her feet and legs

Couldn’t carry her slight frame forward

To touch the past, that memory;

The walkway before her still,

I imagine, never to be breached.
