Tall toppled oak
with rings of
history
lay beneath
moon
pale in
comparison
brave fallen
soldiers

This is a lovely metphor for those fallen in our conflict. The rings of history tell a tale of struggle and scarfice. We build a new nation, to become the protector, kind is the spirit in many ways.

Great Job Sandy...both are strong when they are standing but as your comparison states the oak is gray compared the might of the fallen soldier.

Good morning June. My thoughts and prayers are with you as I read your comment. Always so nice to hear from you. Thank you for stopping by. Have a beautiful Sunday. Sandy

This is stunning. I could picture this. The comparison between 'fallen oak' and 'fallen soldiers' are equally striking. It is what the poem in words do not say that is also appreciable - you give a lesson here. 'Cutting down' either is sad, but humanly I admit, I give my heart to the 'brave fallen soldiers'. Good luck. Blessings Frans
