the silence before dawn

Grief

It was in the wee hours before daylight
a place that usually had the sounds of all the night
creatures that lived there but on this night
the silence and clear presence of death
was all that could be heard
not by the human ear but by the unconscious mind
The reaper was making his way around the camp
taking inventory of the souls that were about to be taken
off in the distance was the sound of the rotors on the choppers
hevily armed soviet choppers sold to terrorist groups in the region
as the sun began to rise the silence was pierced by the sound of incoming missiles
and machine gun fire. within a few moments through the smoke and ashes of the burned out camp
not even a cricket was left to show that only moments before life had been present

tangible and imagery off the charts, beautifully penned,
