Soul on Transit

[In memory of fallen compatriots early 2015]

I am a traveler,...
To land so certain.
On stage, a lifetime waiter,
Of the cruel train...

When it will come,
Lies beyond wit to tell;
A man's day to retire home,
Isn't printed on his temple!

For them who lost,
Breath at tender age,
Be granted peaceful rest--
Till we exit the stage,
Thence everlasting re-union.
