For every war ever fought in history, for every battle imagined on the page, for every clash of arms captured on screen, for every heroic deed and glorious end, for every victory and every defeat, for the invisible war that is fought every day of our lives for our souls; for all those do I write.
Dawn comes slowly
Red light spilling out
Sound the horns
And ring forth the shout
At the ready now!
Draw your swords
Anticipation
As we lean forwards
Sunrise comes faster
Shadows away do fly
Thunder of hooves
And our war cry
Skirling of music
Death will die
Light into the dark
Lift the standard high
The charge carries on
Drums begin to beat
On to the north!
Fear not defeat!
Time will slow
As armies collide
Angels and demons
Turn of the tide
Choirs unseen
Drumroll of victory
Horns of war
Ring triumphantly
Quiet now
Silence once again
The battle is done
Still the music and pen
Wow, just...wow. I'm speechless; this is really good!
ReplyDeleteGlad you liked it!
DeleteYour word choices are quite perfect, Farjag. You have made me a believer in poetry. I never liked it until I read yours.
ReplyDelete(Btw... for my own amusement, permission to put this to music? It won't leave my bedroom ;))
Go right ahead! And do send me whatever you cook up!
