When the dark falls <br />Birds fly to their roost. <br />The Watch keepers, <br />Moon and Stars appear in the pale sky. <br />I too start my graveyard shift. <br />The distance between us I calculate leisurely <br />And I hear a serenade far away. <br />'Night has a light <br />And for what? <br />You and me awake and the rest fast asleep. <br />You never come up and it's impossible me to come down. <br />In this eternal battle we are just two soldiers. <br />If the destiny was written, <br />Then why should we are awake? <br />I dim my light a little and you keep that toy gun aside. <br />We are almost tired comrade <br />And let's have a rest for a while.'<br /><br />nimal dunuhinga<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/dissident-soldiers-in-a-strange-night/
