War Shadows Dim Slumberous
Ivy Rose |
First morning's joyous sky...
 | |
Silky shadows dim slumberous
through Iraq. Blue wind's blush
finds acrid cobalt
whispering a pale,
blue light into being.
A sombre, scarlet laugh
telling of sunsets and dawns,
of bloody battles fought
beneath the chilled stare
of missiles and bombs
casting their ominous glow
with a last, midnight flare.
As flames burst forth
and ashes fly...
these young American soldiers
dressed in camouflage
are awed by the fiery sight
illuminating the sky,
tremble at the increased risk
of their own demise.
The enemy views the same sky;
and forms his own thoughts
in the deep, dark caverns
of what he has always been taught.
