THE BOY YOU WERE STRONG AND STRAIGHT/dVerse

THE BOY YOU WERE STRONG AND STRAIGHT

The leaves rustle
In the wind
Though this morning is quiet
Not a breath
The sky a forever blue

Salute
Forward march
Like a shade drawn
Over the mountains
A lovely shade of orchid-blue
I remember the image of you

Strong and straight
A boy grown into a man
You walk away
Through the tall grass
Into forgotten yesterdays
