Immortalized in an eternal embrace
While relaying relief for the end of rage.
A sailor,
Proud to be home
And alive.
A nurse
That won’t have to scrub caked blood from her blouse
anymore.
All the smiles are locked and unflinching,
Forever frozen, never changing.
The ghosts of those that died instead of them
Will endlessly haunt them on moon shadowed nights,
But not in this
one
Stolen Moment.
