Connie Marcum Wong Poet Rhyme

In the Meadow

Dark Moon

The twilight sky 
encircles me
As I stand in
morbid reverie.
My mood so dark 
the tears won’t flow,
Choked inside 
they wayward row.

I stand before
the windswept sea
Their mournful voices 
haunting me.
I can’t forget 
their cries of horror;
Unsanctified 
remains of war.
