Memorial reflections on Decoration Day and memory
The piece recalls Decoration Day in a family setting, noting Cemetery visits, parades, and the shift in how death is mourned. It questions funeral rituals, honors those who died for freedom, and urges valuing liberty beyond ceremony. It contrasts personal grief with public remembrance and defense spending.

Poem Of The Week The Soul's Law Of Motion
The narrator describes a stormy interior pace driven by rain and inner tension. The soul spins like a maelstrom and boils from friction then expands seeking kindness or answers and contracts in disappointment. Only time can restore rhythm, leaving a seat awaiting Richard Meyer.
