Glowing fields cracked
by a relentless sun
without mercy
mirror infinity at earth’s curve.

Melding evasive wind
spins mini cyclones
in harsh triumph.

Stumps of once glorious trees
spread abstract fingers
to a sky holding
the waste of man.

Across a vast beyond
whispering dried grass
whistles alien tunes
at walkers from the void.

Tall and somber
bowed,
by war’s weight.
they search for pure water
in a land ravished
with faulty dreams.

Still remembering
ultimate loss, those
shrieks of pain.

Bad death
from
faces once loved.

Etched into tenacious memory
wound’s so deep with
no point or reason found.

Cruel heat of day dives into
bitter night, obsidian
with glittering lost  eyes.

Hands are held,
fingers lock
in this wasted world.
even to the end

Lovely stark and brooding images. These ones really jumped out at me:

"Stumps of once glorious trees
spread abstract fingers
to a sky holding
the waste of man.

Across a vast beyond
whispering dried grass
whistles alien tunes
at walkers from the void."

Good work!
