“Footsteps Growing Faint”

 
“Footsteps Growing Faint”
 
cji
10/31/12
 
The distance increasing always
never seeming to get closer by
as clouds drifting in miles of sky
gone are too many yesterdays;
 
Soldiers treading the war zone
now resting in the graveyards
some in sleep others by shards
each their lives heroes known;
 
Footsteps growing faint in sound
where bands played marches oft
now heard taps and tattoo soft
a drum’s cadence now profound!
