The Battles To Come

I looked out over the mountains
And an eagle soared by
I heard the whisper in its wings
Telling of the battles to come

I looked out over the ocean 
And a whale surfaced nearby
I saw the sadness in its eyes
Telling of the battles to come

I looked out over the valley
And the people were all crying
I tasted the salt in their tears
Telling of the battles to come

I looked up to the heavens
And the skies were dark and grey
I felt the rain begin to fall
Telling of the battles to come

I looked into the faces of my children
And knew deep in my heart
That the battles that were coming
Would be the ones that they would fight
~A Dark Horse Poetry
