Summer light shimmers through canopiesA
Into blissful days of life in innocenceA
Where heat accompanies countless fantasiesA
Once the spring dew had vanished like incenseA
-
However in the shadows past the horizonB
Scheming personages search for blunderC
They move their workings to try and find reasonB
To wage conflict and tear things asunderC
-
-
-
Every and all will be dragged into mattersA
Brought about by reckless abandonB
Fervor shall plague the ruthless fightersA
Greed will entice the insatiable wantonB
-
Then when the heads surely after the otherC
Start falling off of the uncorruptedD
A road to take for those maniacally unbotheredD
Will present itself before the dementedD
-
And when heaviness drops on glints of hopeE
Only brutality will remain on the fieldsA
Then the merciless shall rise suffer copeE
In the enemy fear will forever be instilledD
-
-
-
With force the land was ravaged and doomedD
Armies began tearing through one anotherC
Enduring the rampage as told to doD
While the grass underfoot was smotheredD
-
Arrowheads and splintered shrapnelF
Buried deep beneath their skinsA
Left in aftermath of endless battleF
Drowned in despair from deep withinG
-
-
-
Songs of sorrow fill the skiesA
With ire regret bravery anguishH
As their turning lifeless bodies' last criesA
Thunder through the plains of skirmishH
-
Dead souls are soon to meet the soilI
And receive the earth's kiss farewellJ
With wishes broken dreams foiledD
They leave behind traces of hellJ
-
-
-
Autumn arrives and departs like feelingsA
Burdensome as just to come and goK
Fluttering about and pestering beingsA
With changing sceneries of green to goldD
-
When death had abounded silence reignedD
Clouds shed their tears they wept awayL
Months had gone by only carrion remainedD
The stories of the fight all taken to the gravesA
-
Nature the audience grass the stageM
Within a tale of an abysmal human blightD
Brought by winter winds on land blood had laid wasteD
Lies the hidden truth after red turned whiteD

Poet's note: This was written originally nearing the end of 2020. However, I was only able to finish today, February 21, 2021. It began with 3 stanzas that was finished with an extra 9. I will leave it to the readers to identify the old and new parts. Red Turned White is an enjoyable exploration of my mind, especially during the beginning of me writing it. That is why I chose it as my second published piece.
