Echoes of Silence



In echoes of silence

as the final blast fades

there settles the dust of dreams



In a war without violence

death's stillness invades

choking the anguished unspoken pleas



No quarter is asked nor given

from the camps of either domain

come only echoes of silence --- apart



So it is souls are riven

leaving empty shattered remains

upon the battlefield of the heart
