Sadness-'In Barren Fields'

In Barren Fields

I jaggedly walk in barren fields
Where my brother waits for me
And angels descend with their shields
To protect his soul thru eternity

I gather strength to build my wills
Pensive and lost, cold and alone
Then I sit amongst the daffodils
Looking at his name scribed in stone

Tears running down my face
But he would not want me to cry
If I could only take his place
In barren fields of wounded sky.


Dedicated to those who have lost a loved one...either through external wars or internal wars.

Congratulations, my dear WW on a well-deserved win! What a very sad, well-written piece! Losing a loved one is always very difficult to handle - it creates a void that cannot ever be filled. A-7! Hugs. Pandita
