Floating through a quiet space

Beyond the rumbling salvos

Perched high in the mountains

Far away and at ease

~

Forgotten skylines glow

And roar infernal,

The enclosing ring

Of grieving embers

~

Wailing up the steep walls

Of this parcel of Eden

Are the hollow hearts of mothers

Who roam from their beloveds

~

Nothing cries back down  

From this perch in the wild  

The horror rings through their bodies

As they claw the cliffsides
