Severe

holding some writings near
the winds caress the evergreens (at least I can hear)
the war stories, oh my, oh my, oh dear
tangy peaches to eat
- then she sheds a tear
soul searching, 
the lack of clarity - now clear 
while 
wearing 
blankets 
worn 
by heroes
untold unsung
awe-inspired


severe.
