Rest Easy Now, Dear Brother....

... Your Duty is Done.
Memorial to Fallen German Sons. Bonn. With Honoured Respect.
Because Peace has a price, and Freedom is never Free.

Here I met an old friend, we embraced and talked, as only old friends can.
Till no more words left to say. Of hopes and dreams, Joys and fears.
Every moment so precious, every tear so priceless.
Then quiet to reflect, a pause to remember.
So far we have come, yet so much we have yet to learn.
With parting sorrow we went our separate ways.
Until we meet again, in a city without shadows.
Safe Journey.

Soul Shadows...
Soul Shadows...

    By looking at your picture and reading your words I feel touched by both of them. A sad picture, but nevertheless important to remember us of the terrible consequences of war, yesterday and today! I am especially touched by the knowledge, that an Australian visits German cemetries of fallen soldiers. I like your idea to combine the hand of a living human being (your hand, I assume) with dead and grey material, but I think also it would have been better to hold the hand of the brother and not put in on the head like a priest. Perhaps I would have drawn back the sleeves of the jacket to underline the contrast between dead and life.
