In Your Name

today I stand at your wall
rub my hand on your name
for freedom you answered the call
another sweet soul to claim

I do not know who you were
but tenderly I touch your ghost
in my heart deep emotions stir
whisper you're more than a name in post

to you and all the other names in stone
that we do not know
we welcome our hearts as your home
and see your spirits soar as our flag flows




"...the rest is silence" (Hamlet)  Shakespeare
