Silence On the Hills
as quickly as it began
it seemed to come to an end
like a summer storm raging
the damage could be seen
the small town remembered
as they gathered on fields
to honor their hometown heroes
lost to another senseless war
in little paper pamphlets
soldiers faces smiled proud
beneath each name
the date they succombed
family members
waved flickering candles
in remembrance of sacrifice
as amazing grace replaced
the silence on the hills
eyes cried
like summer skies
as darkness sighed
