1861-1865 <br /> <br /> For all that we take with us, <br /> We leave so much behind. <br /> In the Southern stillness of night, <br /> Blue and Gray are the same color. <br /> <br /> Colors <br /> <br /> The blacks, the browns, <br /> The browns, the reds, <br /> The whites, the yellows, <br /> All dipped into blue. <br /> Do not look as different. <br /> Yet lifeless hands, <br /> Holding a lively flower. <br /> Draw attention.<br /><br />Barry A.
