I met a fisherman just the other day who
cast his line my way
What manner of man is this
I did insist
He delved deep into the ocean
of my soul
reeling in memories I had wanted
to fade but to him they must
b told
That net which he pulled
me in
made me face the reality I had hope
come to an end
I was a war vet who thought his
30 years journey of nightmares sleepless
nights anxiety was his and his alone
But
this fisherman hashed out all those
memories of war from my mind
and convinced me mine was shared
by thousands of the same kind
If not for this fisherman who reeled me in
on his deft fishing line
I would probably b still hid in the deep dark
murky waters to the end
of my mortal time
So I Slaute this fisherman of men whose name is
Mr Neon Leon
My readjustment counsellor at Vet Center help me get my PTSD claim
we bumped heads hard first met but we became best of friends he passed away 2015 I owe him so much he shall never be for gotten
Happy Veterans Day especially to my Brothers and Sisters Vietnam Vets
