If I Were A Bugle
by Paul Berube

I'd like to be of brass and worn
A bugle sweet and pure
For when I blew my shiny horn
All would bow for sure

The world would rise at reveille
As the day of work began
But when I sounded my retreat
Deep sleep would quell the land

When brave and loyal soldiers passed
At their repose I'd play
The sound of taps would grace the land
To send them on their way

In the end, when judgement came
Upon a cloud so white
I'd sound the call for all to kneel
When Our Lord came to sight.

"In the end, when judgement came

When Our Lord came to sight."

These lines set your poem head and shoulders above all the rest.

God Bless America and the troops that defended her!

Amen!

Such an honor you have bestowed on a simple bugle. If each of us could only share in that humbleness what a wonderful world this would be.

God bless you. Kathy

Dear Paul,

This is so beautiful. You're right, a bugle signifies many things when it sounds. Can be merriment, celebration, announcement of things coming and are at hand, and yes, even death. Enjoyed. It's good to be back and read your works again, Paul.

Blessings to you,
Sheri

Paul,
What strikes me about this poem the most is the support you offer the soldiers, even as a bugle. You're behind them; you were them. A beautiful tribute to your experiences.

Yes, for certain sure, it is the bugle of all instruments that quickens in our spirits and we have an automatic reflex to hearken to its call. This poem speaks like the voice of the prophet, the early warning system to the people, calling for a response. A beautiful aspiration and a wonderful analogy. You have a bugle heart, Paul! :)) xx
