Sky Still Glows With Sunset Hues of Red
Sky Still Glows With Sunset Hues Of Red
Ancient garden, roses no longer water fed
graves nearby, tombs of the ancient dead
Sky still glows with sunset hues of red
yet barren rests garden's deserted bed
Wind moans as it flies in the night-sky
one can hear the saddest cry
Across the way, ghosts of lost youths lie
war costs, the blood of youth by and by
Where flowers once spoke beauty reigned
now old grow memories of the pain
Small fence separates area where none remain
blotches of earth with tombstones stained
Overlooking hill, there rests a mighty red oak
shadows pass it by, yet none ever spoke

Note- Sonnet just came to me and demanded to be written..
