A Bugle Wept

   A lone bugle wept as it wrapped
    its plaintive message ‘round her heart 

   Why relentless drumbeats for another
    raised hope anew for her brother

   Is not ours to fathom unless 
     we close our eyes to death

Musical instruments can convey emotions. Your poem said many things with a few words. An excellent verse.
