A Fisherman

CATEGORY

life

Views: 181

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
