Names.

Name
After name,
After name.

Each one
A life
Unfulfilled

A story
Untold.

Ethched forever
In silent stone.

The Wall. . .

Written after my first “Rolling Thunder” ride to the Vietnam Memorial in Washington DC.

    Jen – I started the ride having a good time with friends, but then started to hear the stories, and when I first saw the wall . . . I lost it.
    It’s so overwhelming. There are no words that can ever capture what is felt when you stand on that ground. . .
