"Reflective Drums"
cji
5/15/12
Beating slow and steady
drums of movement slow
echoes of the distance
marching many to death;
Each beat a last breath
eternal an existence
into the eternity to flow
never is one ready;
Reflective drums beating
rhythms often meeting
long in their greeting
in moments fleeting;
Hallowed is the sound
where soldiers patrol
widows kneel to pray
long gone is the day;
In foreign lands to stay
no longer able to play
long the list to unroll
deep in the ground!
