"Forever Blue" poem.  One reviewer said he didn't understand it, and I finally figured out why: the first line is personal to Me: it is MY father I have broken faith with (he and the rest of his family down to his great grandchildren are pacifists).

Homecoming

                                                   
 I have broke faith with my father,
 And love a lad home from the war
 Who does not regret it, or even think of it
 Much.
 So honest he is, and so unafraid,
 Even of fear itself ,
 Full of half-formed plans,  yet so sure
 Of his love, that he dies for it,
 Without ever knowing
 Why.

Honestly, I cannot remember ever wanting to see an episode of a TV show so bad, I have seen clips of it, but that is all.

Your poem is beautiful, thank yu for sharing it with us.

Forever Blue:
Here's the place to download it, the URL. It takes about 45 minuts, but you can then "save to disk"--which means your own hard drive, and watch it whenever you want, or "open" the thing, and watch it twice. It's already set to Forever Blue.

If you need to download a receiver, thisi s the URL (it's a standard AVI play, which most programs already have):
