Night and War

Ominous echoes 
hush the song of eternity.

Sky is an ember:
Black and red and untouchable.

Night extends 
Till day seems impossible.

Echoes stab the night
Till it crumbles over our heads.

The air bleeds.
The eyes fall shut

Seeking an escape,
Yet the violent glares blind.

Merciless glares replicate;
The night is darker than ever.

Yes, no peace in war, no peace at all.
