Considering becoming a man of the moon
The opposite of living life around noon
What difference would it make
The time of day I am awake
The night provides better cover
More like living life undercover
I seem to have fewer triggers then
That I experience during day time and again
I run my errands at night now anyway
The things I used to do during the day
Like grocery shopping and going to the bank
It's even midnight when I put gas in the tank
There are far fewer people about
And much less traffic enroute
During the day I hear car horns and phones ringing
At night I hear the leaves rustling and birds singing
The night is a more peaceful time in which to live
I'm also attracted to the solitude it can give
The night just offers more of what I need right now
I'm seriously considering making it work somehow
David Rose - Vietnam Veteran - Combat Medic
A collection of original poetry from a Vietnam War Veteran, David Rose, who is diagnosed with PTSD by the Veterans Administration. Some of these poems are very personal and dark while others are lighter, but I wanted to make them available to the public as an educational tool to everyone who is interested. The poems are copyrighted, but can be used for any nonprofit reason with credits. It is my sincere wish that someone will find these heart-felt writings useful.
