Steadily
And still
She holds
Her voice
A whisper
In the breeze
Come
Come
Remember me
Her perfumed breath
Her very heartbeat
Eternally
In rhythm
Author: Brian Varcas
A Prayer
At Wounded Knee
A severed dawn
A single crow
That hovers in despair
Silenced by such loss
And now
We kneel
In wordless prayer
For end to wars
Incline our heads
Towards the earth
So for this time
Our faces of forgetfulness
Remember and recede
