Dusk falls upon the land A time of peace is close at hand The kingdom is calm tonight Soldiers sleep weary from the fight Their horses graze in the field Darkness serves as their shield ~~ The castle stands strong and tall Not one brick took a fall Their prince closes his eyes In his dream he hears a cry It is from the fallen ones Who gave their lives for their sons ~~ So they will have a future here With no need to harbor fear Living a life filled with harmony By the calm waters of the sea They will prosper in due time Enjoying the years of their prime ---------------------------------------------------- Poetry should surprise by fine excess...it should strike the reader as a wording of his own highest thoughts and appear almost a remembrance. -J.Keats [This message has been edited by Lone Wolf (edited 11-09-2000).] |

Makes you kind of wonder if Clinton ever hears cries in his sleep. Oh, sorry...I shouldn't be talking politics in here. *Grins* |

Temptress . . . Thank you, yes, a bit sad. BDC . . . Glad that you loved this one. Somehow I knew you would. Yes, long hours lately, how did you know? All is well and hopefully I will be around more. Charisma . . . Thank you so much! Tracie . . . You are welcome my friend. I hope that more people remember them more often. They gave a lot for us. Thanks! MI . . . No politics here!!  Sven . . . Yes it does rest peacefully and we owe it to them. Thank you! PV . . . Thank you. They were all heroes in my book.

LoneWolf~ The sweet guardians have been laid to rest - it's our turn to stand the sentry. My heart salutes them all. Lovely write, dear lady. ~*Marge*~ ~*The pen of the poet never runs out of ink, as long as we breathe.*~ noles1@totcon.com |
