Remnants of War

The weight of loss left a mark upon on her tired shoulders
The faintest hint of a Tuesday's bright confines
The strained repose of a soldier wandered through her keyhole
A dark mirage of a pain that circles in her eyes

And in the night should silence ever come
They'd hold their breath to hide from sight and sound

To live and write in the wake of loose and gathered remnants
A trumpet call in the distance shakes the ground
To see the light of the morning seep in through the mountains
Awakes new fear in the shade that creeps across the ground

And in the day when death is swift and blatant
A silent prayer cuts through the rumbling sound

A sleepless day is a comfort in this blustery weather
The smell of rain a distraction from the fire
There is no time to rest, to joylessly acquire
There is no peace, there won't be for a while
There is no peace, there won't be for a while
