War Poem |
Silence falls in no man’s land |
To echo on uncertain steps |
Sharp of eye and quick of hand |
Advancing forward to regrets |
Underfoot the bombs and mortars |
Sleep awaiting coded warnings |
From the top the barking orders |
Light the sky on these dark mornings |
Seek asylum from the terror |
Reaching out for what it’s worth |
Shelter from the raging anger |
Raining down on bitter earth |
Sympathy for all who’s hurting |
Getting lost between the lines |
It’s the stuff that keeps returning |
Laughing loud in victor’s lies |
Up above on wind’s declaring |
Soon the cold will whistle through |
Push aside the warm sierras |
Fill the sails that carry you |
Seek asylum from the terror |
Reaching out for what it’s worth |
Shelter from the raging anger |
Raining down on bitter earth |
Many miles are put between the |
What once was and what will be |
Sleepwalk nightmare to sweet dream |
Each step consigned to history |
Every whisper sings resistance |
All emotions hide inside |
Refugee looks to the distance |
Out there somewhere lies his pride |
Seek asylum from the terror |
Reaching out for what it’s worth |
Shelter from the raging anger |
Raining down on bitter earth |
