Peek In Through My Window
Wet wings hold back the morning song
clouds cover what was meant to be a perfect day
a loose boulder rolls uphill after an earthquake
mountaintops screech it's time for tea
but I'm relegated to run away
Laying low in a one-act show
bundled in tinted eyes of baby blue
opening lost love letters never sent
spilt drops of honey in shades of red
encompass somber sounds of want
Peek in through my window
past a painted pain innocence took
sharp edges smothered in waves of honor
flapping up high in a hallowed field
waiting to be folded and brought back home
clouds cover what was meant to be a perfect day
a loose boulder rolls uphill after an earthquake

Laying low in a one-act show
bundled in tinted eyes of baby blue
opening lost love letters never sent
spilt drops of honey in shades of red
encompass somber sounds of want
Peek in through my window
past a painted pain innocence took
sharp edges smothered in waves of honor
flapping up high in a hallowed field
waiting to be folded and brought back home

The last phrase is so powerful.
I can't imagine what it is like to receive a folded flag.
Thank you for sharing this write.

The first military funeral I remember was my grandfathers, then my fathers. I've photographed two military funerals within the last year - one for a close friend and one for the patriarch (at the request of the matriarch) of our family (talk about having to remain professional through deep emotions). They're very moving, humbling even. I think it's because our veterans and military personnel seem so overlooked in today's times, that any regal appreciation, even after death, is so long overdue. And, such an understatement of what they truly deserved with living.
This is a moving write, Tim. I felt the undercurrent of your present and history.
