Dawn in Okinawa

Posted on in Features, Veterans' Voices

Red

Loud and bold

Chaste and repelling

You know it

Dawn in Okinawa

Air is still

Truth reveals

High and awakening

Bright and comforting

Unpleasant and heavy

What kind of a day

Dawn in Okinawa

Near and together

Welcome

Pulling you close

Pushing you from dreams

Dawn in Okinawa

Chaos

Can’t taste it in the air

Numbness in your bones

Dawn in Okinawa

Time to rise forever

Time to hold on

Time to stay

Time against

Dawn in Okinawa
