Memorial Day: Echoes in the Dust
I stand beneath this flag, half-mast against the sky, A combat vet with ghosts that never learned to die. Memorial Day isn’t parades or backyard smoke, It’s the day I walk the ridgeline where the good ones broke.
I remember the weight of brothers pressed against my chest, The sudden hush when bullets tore through kevlar vests. His eyes locked on mine—wide, pleading, full of fight— I felt the warmth slip from his hand into the endless night.
We believed in something bigger than the fear we carried, In the kid back home, the oath we swore, the soil we’d bury. He gave it all for tomorrows he would never see, A final breath that whispered, “Tell my mom I’m free.”
The dust still clings to boots I’ll never fully clean, Each name etched in my soul like shrapnel never seen. I hear their laughter in the wind across the field, And taste the copper tang of blood that refused to yield.
So on this quiet Monday, while the nation grills and plays, I kneel before the crosses, lost in yesterday’s haze. I honor not just heroes written down in stone, But the brothers who still march with me—never truly gone.
They gave themselves for what they loved, and I remain, To carry every heartbeat through this world of pain. Memorial Day, to me, is sacred, raw, and true— A promise kept in silence: I remember you.
