Date Posted：07-11-2015 11:09Copy HTML I close my eyes
And seek to dream A dream of paradise, Of crystal skies And calming seas, A world where mankind Is united as one, Where angels touch Our very souls, Bringing hope and peace To humanity. Yet, when I close my eyes, I see only war, Hardship, Suffering. I hear the distant cries Of those who paid the price. The soldiers who were shot, The sailors who perished, The children whose ashen eyes Looked up to darkened skies - and I ask myself Why? Stand tall in the face of adversity

Re：Behind Closed Eyes (A Poem of Remembrance) Date Posted：07-11-2015 11:45Copy HTML Nice to have you pop in again, Lynn, and with such an appropriate piece, thanks,
somehow our rememberance poems became scattered into various other forums when I was not well, but this year, I think it would be nice to resurrect and then bring it back to the fore each November, Zy x Opposites exist by virtue of each other

Re：Behind Closed Eyes (A Poem of Remembrance) Date Posted：08-11-2015 12:52Copy HTML Lynn nice to see you, to see you nice.
Lynn it always brings tears to my eyes at this time remembering the sacrifice many gave to give us the life we have now. Never should they ever be forgotten...Why, well we know only too well why, the fight against wrong. But the question of why it was all started still remains...Tony (potleek)

Re：Behind Closed Eyes (A Poem of Remembrance) Date Posted：09-11-2015 09:53Copy HTML No problem, Zy - and thanks for moving my poem. I agree. It would be nice to see the Remembrance board being used again. I spent part of last night in here, reading our old poems of remembrance. There's an absolute wealth of poetry in here!
Glad you liked my poem.  Lynn xx Stand tall in the face of adversity

Re：Behind Closed Eyes (A Poem of Remembrance) Date Posted：09-11-2015 10:05Copy HTML Thanks Maria. I have to admit that it's good to be back, although I don't know how long I'll be back for, as I have a busy few weeks coming up.
I'm enjoying catching up on the poetry while I can, though. By the way, this is a brand new poem. I wrote it just a couple of days ago, in time for this year's remembrances. Glad you enjoyed, though.  Stand tall in the face of adversity
