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. © Connie Marcum Wong For Dana'lynn Smith's "In the Meadow Contest"

oh my goodness, I never saw this one here yet. You took it to the dark side, and I love how you did it, connie. It's awesome seeing you at Soup lately.
