Tending to the Death of a Hero
January 13, 2016
Survival seems dim
as the sky plays her hymn
It was over now
unclear just how
Vision is blurred,
talking is slurred,
words hover in the air
as death takes him with care
Shadows crept
as he slept
on soft grass
as years go and pass
No one knew
what to do
but as they rise
they would come to despise
That awful death
and with it left
blue times to come
and a pain that’s numb
But now they cherish
those who perish
for their town
so they keep the crown
