The Foggy Fields of Time |
 |
|
Memory
digs a ditch
with tears like a river
overflowing
in the foggy fields of time.
We see them
laughing
standing
... and always
beside us.
Our Brothers in arms
one by one.
Young faces
standing watch at midnight
as we
lay restless against the night
... crying out!
The 2 AM dying
in a firefight
... gone
gone
... gone.
Then it all goes away
and the wind blows my mind
somewhere in memory
lost
in the foggy fields
of time. |
