Oct 2017
Heavy metal brushes the wind
Boot tracks in disarray
Cloudiness over the stifling night
No creature in sight

Rustle among the leaves
Darting eyes everywhere
Cocking of the gun
Birth of a son

Phantoms among the trees
Demons in the leaves
Echoes in the air
Glow in the bare

Expressionless to the sight
Military at fright
Found and unexpected
Guns retracted

There lays serenity
A piece of bare art
In hand holds the life of two
The sacrifice for the crew

Courage powers the son
With underlying emotions
Reach out
Salvation is about

Warmth to the skin
Death of a sin
All passengers in
Let the story begin
