Death's grim triumph of the fallen thirteen, betrayed, left behind. Our soldiers' demise at the hands of a few won't be forgotten.
The Afghan Thirteen The pulse is weak, life's last vapor vanishes. Death grins when breathing ceased.
Thanatos’ grim triumph- of the Afghan thirteen, fallen, betrayed from within, and left behind.
A country's demise at the hands of a few. America's heart bleeds. They will not be forgotten.
Hope hurts. Hope heals! Hope shatters the grip of hate- the past and present repeat. 1776 to Aug. 26, 2021.
In memory of the thirteen men and women who died in service of our country and who fought to defend the freedom loving Afghan people.

A Call to Arms: Desperate times call for desperate measures. Arms yours self with the Gospel; it is time to fight. How? Prayer and fasting is the key to winning this fight. Find your prayer closet, your church pew, and get on your knees.
2 Chronicles 7:14: If my people, which are called by my name, shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways; then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land.

Bumblebees, Honeybees and Wasp Tiny things that run the world, busy beats, their wings unfurled. Bumblebees love anther(pollen) threads blooming hues of blues and reds. Golden pearls spread all about, gathered by a little scout. Pollinizers-Flower Power Flower bouquets spread their scent, whiffs and swirls at spring’s advent. Orchard bees seek apple trees guided by a fragrant breeze. Bees create a honey treat- with lavender so pure and sweet.
The Butterfly Dainty things that run the world, silent beats, their wings unfurled. Butterflies from all around follow scents that hug the ground. Dancing-feet atop a bloom, search for nectar to consume.
Pollinizers-Array of Colors Flower clusters, vivid hues Yellows, reds but no blues, Flower seeds secure their worth, stretch their roots in fertile earth. Coneflowers and scattered seeds, are best paired with butterfly weeds.
The Hummingbird Swiftest things that run the world, Hums and beats, their wings unfurled. Hummingbirds need constant fuel. Brillant blooms attract this jewel. Forward, backward, upside down. These dashing fliers zip around. The Beauty of Pollinizers Golden flowers brilliant blooms Entice birds with shiny plumes. Blazing Star to Geranium, Coral Bells to Delphinium. Flower meadows, patchwork plots, Scattered seeds in local lots.

Acrylic Pointing by RL Brown
No buckets, no boats,
And no carrying large totes,
Just Grandpa and me.
A pole in each hand
Grasshoppers by the pond bank.
Gramps catches our bait.
A nibble, a tug.
Feel the line, ignore the bug.
wait- then jerk the hook-
A flip-flopping, splash,
reeling in a big fat bass.
