Comrades

I watched you as you stood there, unaware of my eyes. My heart sank into a deep sea; your expressions were the tide. Just a stranger, yet you had the power of an ocean to lap at my emotions and draw them as your waves. You held your hat abreast your chest; your face pierced with sorrowful pride. And you scanned the names of your comrades; the war memorial displayed them, etched side by side. What grief have you known? What have your eyes beheld? Silently i watched you; your tears filled my eyes, now your tears fill my mind.
