3 masked men

3 masked men 
Sun at their backs burning heavy, bright
As silhouette turns to figure,
A striking image displaying only death

3 masked men 
Sea born breeze blowing, a single tear
Was there a message?
3 masked men exclaiming silently.

3 masked men 
Drawing ever closer 
Fields drag with anticipation 
Closer the men draw

3 masked men 
Arriving with gifts from a recent history
Belongings sharing horrific memories
These have seen battle

3 masked men 
Departing saying nothing
Speaking thousands of words
Honor the souls that live in these vessels 

No more men
All stands still
Women weep for their loss 
Children missing memories soon to be

No more men
Blood soaked ornaments 
One lost 
Many lost

3 masked men
Sunsets sweet memory
