Summer of ‘63

Silence blanketed a crimson ridge,
covered in the bloods of foes.
Awaiting the cleansing wash of
time and tears of Heaven falling
endlessly upon the trampled blades
of green.

It was there the young lay still as
mother’s names were cried into
the swelter of night...and fires
cast eerie glints against the
merciless surgeon’s blade.

There upon that granite pocked
impasse as countless sheep followed
the swish of a mare’s tail and fell
suddenly to a bitter earth as
lifeless eyes stared into stars
that wrenched the waking dawn
from it’s precipice.

As morn came, fear would chill the
damp palm and the last dregs of
a blackened pot would no longer
sing a merry tune....in the Summer
of ‘63 as sheep followed the solemn
swish of a weary mare’s tail.

Magnus,

You brilliantly speak volumes and trigger my emotions... Hanky material indeed!
