Short poems and stories by Veterans who served in Vietnam and by their families and friends. Comment - For all the nurses ---- that should never be forgotten ---- I dreamed a dream in Vietnam ---- Oh ---- what secrets have been weaved from the monastery within my mind. I see great things of colors ---- for everyone. Soft against the sky. Hallways of eternities have broken nights. To advance to the very gates of hell. I have been to the prison door too many times. Miracle and mystery of truth where will i find you. How great is the heart ---- when it gives all that it possess in a riot of emotions. When the beast rages ---- between a blizzard of tears and the rhythm of my soul screaming. When one crushes love to ride the pain of ecstasy/ The bloodstain from my hands ---- cannot be washed away. My eyes are bleeding/ Kneeling ---- my tears fall naked beneath my essence. In my mind are the legions ---- i have seen left behind. Let this season in hell disappear ---- if only for a moment in time. This moment in time Let me forget the fire-storm of nightmares. Touch my hand ---- from another time and place i forgot. Dance with me. Hug me in the silence of your reverence. Rick Ryckman [email protected]
