Even the Angels Wept
instead of flowers
stones bloom in mass profusion
engraved with honor…..
history has come to rest
locked in the shadows of time
_
echoed from the past
the foreboding sound of guns
thunders from the sky...
lamented tears of angels
scatter over sacred ground
_
far from battlefields,
all creatures mourn the endless
silent sacrifice...
grief still mingles in the breeze
with the sounds of a bugle
