REFLECTIONS ON A WALL

Mural painted on Royal Canadian Legion, Branch 13, Toronto
by John Hood, 1991



A thousand words or more are penned

Beneath the coloured coats of ever marching men.

The shades of horse and soldiers tell stories of the past.

while brushed reflected light mirrors moments of today.

The wall, once grey and silent, drums now with vibrant life.

Destiny summoned closer by steady beating feet.

The hopes and dreams and sorrows of long forgotten men

Are captured here forever in a tapestry of time.
