This year’s poem is a bit different than what I usually post for this day. It’s not so much about the past and what we lost, but today’s soldier and their suffering. There is also an enlightening video discussion on the topic of PTSD following the poem.
PTSD
It’s the silence
between the quiet pauses
where the monsters grow
with the unspoken words
that fester in the wounds
It’s the time beyond
the haunted hours
in the memories and the dreams
where they sing their pain
In the ricochets of war
and the echoes of aftershock
the ghosts make their home
Author Virginia Cruse & Filmmaker Brian Morrison discuss PTSD
Be Afraid of the Dark 
It’s an interesting poem. Congrats!
