"Distant Blades"


“Distant Blades”

cji
8/19/15

Ringing in the memory
fine steel meeting steel
rapiers of some death
sounding so very clear
even in the distance
fighting drawing near
shouts of cannons echo
falling masts-cut sails
sawdust on the decks
awash with life’s water
while in a memory dim
distant blades to remind
wherein was history
armed and unknown
ringing in my memory!
