Somewhere |
 |
|
Within the mystery of our lives
we remember
the pain
and courage found only in youth
the mud
the blood
the truth
and all the lies
that fell beside the dreams
of heroes
as they died in our arms
... and we shall die
known only
as old men
from an old war
that shall be forgotten
as the dreams
of angels
have
been forgotten
upon the cold plain
that begs for truth
lost
in the windy places
of tomorrow. |
