Today
Wings of angels
slice through darkness,
and the sun rises again
on a world torn.
And lines in the sand vanish,
and the tide of war
grows red.
But we are still here.
They take us in their arms,
their life for ours,
and battle keeps them
from home.
But as the sun sets,
we look to the skies,
seeing the deep blue
calm what was broken,
and in the distance,
their wings take flight.
And their heroic deeds
writes one more day here
of peace
for us.
