WORDS

I have seen words

written in the throes of emotion.

Emotion, depicted in a manner so graphic,

In red clay and sandy soils

Marked by seals comprising tears of blood.

Hear ye the music

Meant to calm the souls

Of those left to die.

The ground, full of words

Written in red

And traced in sand,

The sights of it

Breaking many hearts.
