The sky hovers watching
Bullets spray from each side
The sky crys wishing
Spreading its arms
Blood pools in the soil
Remains of a conflict settled by war
A hat taken off in sign of respect
A family mourns their loved one
A father with two sons and a daughter too young to remember
A wife with a half a heart buried in the ground
The hallway where he'd sing his songs
Rang without sound
Empty, as the chair he would sit in when he was home
They eat in despair for they feel so alone
The tree outside the window
The one they planted as a family
Shed its leaves in the midst of the summer
Only to sprout leaves so full and rich with green
The branches coiling, wrapping its arms around each other
And behind it tr sunset with hues of red, pink, and a burst of orange
We will all meet again
