A star up yonder

Woven In Rose And Thorn

by Walter L. Jones

A crown and a thorn
Bleed into the face of eternity
As we lay naked
Chain and grass taking


Ran the truth
Peered inside the pride
Lost the truth
Net castoff the side
Gather up those who die


They took the glass
Cast the mind
Lost another
Just to find
Hearts on sleeve
Who is left to grieve

Soul marches well
Stomps out the flames of hell
On corner
Pen in hand
Poet writes the end

Come and see
Watch the flowers bleed
Solder died
And only mothers cry

Garden covered in stones
Only one left
No one is home
Just the dates
Born died
We all cried

Silver and gold
Just a cross in a field
Sword of justice
Blind at the scale
What is eternal jilt
