Holding Lady Liberty |
 |
I noticed her
standing
two panels down,
face uplifted!
Bright silver hair,
... and tearful.
... somebody's Mother
... perhaps!
I was alone beside the Wall
touching memory,
... touching agony
in my heart.
She was still there,
standing alone,
as I started to leave
... and I said,...
"May I help you?"
Her eyes fell
as crystal,
shattered again,
... and again.
"That is my Son.,
There!.
Up there!
I cannot reach his name!"
So,
I lifted Lady Liberty
and she shook in my arms,
... her trembling hands
upon his name.
As she thanked me,
... I held her close,
just once again.
Then we went
our separate ways |
