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. 02/09/2017 Sadness / Contest Sponsored by/ Silent One

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
