Regina Elliott Poet Monoku

White Stones Silent

o the vast lawns of white stones silent....as a sparrow
tends her new clutch

only in engraving they speak soldier's names....and
the wars they fell in

men and women of brave....as the bugle weeps in
taps too young in sleep

hearts in cadence stilled....wars are storming
bastards of fire roaring death

soldier's stories whispered in....aligned standing
rows of everlasting

Sara Kendrick February 20, 2024 at 7:40 AM Sad one. I know that are so many mothers and fathers in places of war that are weeping for their sons and daughters who have passed in the throes of fighting. Thanks for sharing your talent with us.
