Joy of a Tear

Haunted by the shouts of pain
Staring through the stinking smoke
Surrounded by a reddened stream
To the eye, he stands alone.
Once tender fingers tightly grip
An empty cartridge, his sole companion
But his mind wanders off.
It hunts for the milder memories
It searches the blissful past
Where his soul seeks refuge;
And dwells in the lively eyes
Of an innocent, playful dame-
His pain, she doesn't reduce.
Rising above the smell of blood,
Her milky scent tickles his nose,
His ears feast on her mumbling tunes
While his fingers dance.
He snuggles under the memory
He hides from the bitter truth.
He does not hear nor feels,
The stealthy calm
The startled wind
The sudden blast
The thousand cries
The rumble above drowns the groan below.
On his last moment on earth
He perceives a divine sight-
A man, a woman and a loving child
Embraced with joyous hearts..
A tear of happiness rolls down his cheek
Home At Last!

This is such a sad write, dear Minoli, but the final vision brings a moment of comfort, in a single tear ... to him.

Far too often we assist to such scenes. I can't but repeat: may the world awaken to love.

Thank you for this significant offering.

Love,
Margherita

dearest minoli!

i smiled when i seen your new post...hope you've been well and are studying hard

this is a melancholy poem, but beautiful...

i loved this:

Rising above the smell of blood,
Her milky scent tickles his nose,
His ears feast on her mumbling tunes
While his fingers dance.
