Darkness, will it pass as night? <br />pain and numbness mingle now, <br />dreams are numbered, out of order, <br />sweat upon his furrowed brow. <br /> <br />A khaki shroud now crimson stained, <br />the crucifix upon his lips <br />trembling fingers catch a breath <br />tasting life with fingertips <br /> <br />Darkness, will it pass as night? <br />pain receding, see the light, <br />skirl of bagpipes, echo, calling, <br />closes yet again the night..<br /><br />Laurie hill<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/closes-yet-again-the-night/
