[hometext] => The American Civil War-A time when brother fought brother over principles and pride. I tried to write this from a tired and forlorn soldiers perspective. Yet he has a dream and perhaps final wish.
Russ-aka-Lone-er [bodytext] => The rain falls steadily Tapping methodically upon the ground Never have I heard Such a tragic hopeless sound It washes away stains Of brothers sacrificial blood Spilled all over the battlefield Such a horrid crimson flood We met here in Gettysburg To fight for what we thought right So many brothers on either side Lie dead or dying here tonight Tomorrow the rain will fall again A response from above God in His abundant mercy Will send rain in love For we will fight again Many more brothers will die And again Gods sorrow Will fall from the sky Washing away the fears The pleadings of terrified men Perhaps this time the rain Will help healing begin The healing of rifts Caused by American brothers pride Sealing of wounds Festering on either side Perhaps the tears of God Will soften hearts that remain And the voices of dying brothers Are no longer silenced in vain Russ [comments] => 3 [counter] => 172 [topic] => 43 [informant] => Lone_er [notes] => [ihome] => 0 [alanguage] => english [acomm] => 0 [haspoll] => 0 [pollID] => 0 [score] => 15 [ratings] => 3 [editpoem] => 1 [associated] => [topicname] => oops )

Poetry is much like a great photo, a single "moment in time" capturing many feelings and emotions. Yet, they are very alive; creating stirrings within the readers who form visual "pictures" of the expressed emotions within the Poem. ©
