Dresden Germany Valentines Day 1945

Christmas Tree Over Dresden Feb 14,1945 Dresden Germany In their un-loving light, to stop a heart, descending in the night, revealing all, fortelling all to come, right from the start, the soul of man did make its deathly call; and dressed in light, a city stripped so clean, their Valentine, to pray now is too late-- an ending not conceived--nor ever seen, is close at hand, and in the hands of fate! Warm in the night, a child could see the glow of all the light, and see a Christmas tree; just falling from the night, and then to show that what we see's not really what we see; Exploding in the night, death makes its call; brought on by wrong and right, but butchers all.
