Poem: Weep for the Sons of Atlantis

Oct 17, 2014 23:49


My voice is silent

My tears are gone

My beautiful boys

They are no more

The call to arms

Echoed long and clear

And off they marched

With heroic cheers

Took up their swords

Their shields, their helms

And left to fight

In forgotten realms

We who stayed

To tend the fires

Our lives went on

But our souls, they cried

For the shining smiles

Of our little boys

Gone forever

On bloody shores

The hearth is warm

The bread is baked

The butter churned

The thirst is slaked

But cold our arms

And dry our eyes

We who mourn

Beneath lavender skies
