For the Veteran on the Street -My Wish

Still haunted by the horrors of then,
I see you sit there,
in the new reality of now
Oblivious to my greeting,
Unable to connect to the realities before “then”
of home,
of security,
of family,
of love.
War now a piece of life within.
Yet the inability to share
and the ability to relive
permits it to become the whole.
You are more than war’s stain absorbed by your soul.
May your “more” be found again.
