Arqios, this hit me hard…there’s a quiet, steady presence here that just breathes. It feels like time passing through the same space, held together by simple, lived moments. Beautiful piece. 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦⬛

Vivid pictures in story form flash by flash carry this write onward down a focused path then come these lines:
\"A gate shifts in the breeze.
Somewhere, water gathers in a gutter
and carries the day forward.\"
A metaphor with deeper meaning. Nicely done and a fave

My friend, tthe blanket lifting and settling again really stays with me. It’s such a small movement, but it carries the whole atmosphere…like the scene is breathing on its own. Beautifully done, Rik. 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦⬛

David Wakeling said:
Long after the bugle has faded indeed.Years after.I must confess to having changed my view of Anzac Day after my father died.He was in World war ii and to hear about his sacrifice it makes sense of the whole march,I was transported by this poem to 1000 different RSL clubs across Australia and proud of the Anzac legend once more.Well done compadre Lest we forget

A fine Poem on a Service of Remembrance.
My Father who was a D.Day Veteran used to say that the Attendance was getting smaller every year on Remembrance Sunday. And now even he has gone. We must never forget these brave Men - and Women.

Nicely written, your poem honors those who have served, promotes community bonds, and reflects on the significance of remembrance in shaping identity and collective history.

Voice of dissent here, Rik.
The pontification and hypocrisy which goes with Anzac day is right over the top. And if you read or saw the News, the dawn services the parades and the two up games were larger than ever. Focus on WW1 And WW2, no mention of Vietnam or any of the other conflicts around the world. The proposition that Gallipoli somehow turned or solidified Australia as a nation is being plugged again.

A poem that commemorates a time when valor and patriotism meant something, when men were proud to wear a uniform and die for God and family. The sun has faded on that era and only a few lame remain. Very nicely written my friend
