Silver Ships

Written May 31, 2013 The sun does rise Over silver ships sailing in the sky Rain on down on our parade In a concrete jungle The kids come out to play Masked by this dreadful masquerade A cosmic dance where stars collide The kids and parents run to hide Shelter from the enemy above Who light up the sky with lightning bugs The land is dark and the sky is black Mothers pray the birds will not come back Be it by barren land or vicious sea Lord just hear our plea The sun does rise Over silver ships sailing in the sky Rain on down on our parade In a concrete jungle The kids come out to play Masked by this dreadful masquerade

This is really cool. Is it metaphorical for nature or for something sci fi?? For me, it could go both ways. I really enjoyed this one.

Most of my poems take their form while I am in the process of writing them. With this one I had just read an article on the Battle of Britain. So I guess that was on my mind. I am very excited to see someone leave a sincere comment! I really liked your poem Autumn's Breath.
