Requiem for the Fallen

Shots ring out
Cutting through the mist,
           clinging to the dew.
The sun barely above the trees.


A fire in the sky.


Rolling hills stained
           with life lost,
taken before its time.


The sound of the snare
matches the tempo of the canons,
creating a requiem for the fallen.


           Until midday
When the smoke    fades,
waiting for the next battle to begin...
