it'll be dawn in a few hours. off the Hawaiian coast i won't see squadrons of planes stealing through the early morning clouds. pilots won't burn in their planes on the tarmac and sailors won't drown in the harbor. they did once. and sleeping dragons roused, painting the landscape red. the scorpion's sting was bitter in its unexpected strike, and for a time, the world was on fire. the dragons should have woken sooner, but caves are dark and deep and motion comes slowly.

64 years and it still stings like it was yesterday. God bless America and her troops.

it may never happen again as it did that day, and well we should sleep with one eye open. Surprise is attained against you if you assume you know all, so failing your watch. Time moves on and deeds become legend, legend becomes myth, and what should not be forgotten is lost. It will not take a thousand years, nor even a hundred, and all that stands between life and oblivion are the few remaining grey hairs, rheumy eyes, and shaking withered hands. It is to us who have the eyes to see their faces, and the ears to hear their whispered words, to teach our children the price and value of memory. It is us who will make true the words, "We shall not Forget."

AFD

*shivers*

do they drose from slumber only, or is it the memory of landscape laid waste under their anger, too, that bids them cling to dreams, past the hour of rousing?

both, as some legends tell, and i am wont to believe, for dragons can be most noble creatures but the wrath granted them by Nature is a sword best wielded with care.

Today was a beautiful clear day. Honolulu at her best. It wasn't just me looking up at the sky. Ghosts and memories.
