Stillness
The sun hides in this place
The grey clouds hamper it's light.
Here the stones rest,
Long straight rows, emblazoned with names.
A sergeant here, a corporal there.
The rank no longer matters.
In battle they were brothers,
In death their stones share space.
The snow crunches underfoot moving through
The mass, a solitary crow stands sentinel.
Ever watchful, ever present,
We mourn, we respect, we love.
Men and women, they gave their lives for us.
For our sons and daughters to know better
Futures.
Visited Arlington recently and I was just awestruck by it. Tried to capture it's beauty and the reverence I have for that place in this poem
