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 |
