late into the darkness
as we warm to love’s advance.

only to be gone from my side
at the breaking of a new day.
Beside the peaceful waters,
my dreams lie shattered in despair.
She has gone to another’s arms
and no longer, mine will share.

In the field where flowers grow,
The war they fought is over now.Peace may they find at last,beneath the fields that once run red,with the blood of half a million dead.The land is now peaceful and tranquil there,no more carnage does it share,no more thunder of dropping shells,or the cries and tortured yells.Just the ghosts of men who fought,and died before…
