Reflections on The Wall

They walk along The Wall,
Silent and searching,
Faces reflected in black surface,
Tears forming in eyes.

They walk along The Wall,
Silent and searching,
Intervening years
Have not quieted the pain.

They walk along The Wall,
Silent and searching,
Images of comrades
Invade the mind.

They walk along The Wall,
Silent and searching,
Seeking respite
From memories of anguish.

They walk along The Wall,
Silent and seaching,
Seeking release from
Years of repudiation.

They walk along The Wall,
Silent and searching,
Outcasts of yore
In their time of need.

They walk along The Wall.
Silent and searching,
Spirits of heroes
Home, at last.
