Taller than Me
Posted: Mon Oct 17, 2016 2:27 am
Standing in the graveyard,
The battlefield,
Admiring much taller men than me
Close my eyes and feel history
Are they happy, can they move?
Are my prayers getting through?
The night falls in black waves
Over stoneless rows of wild grass
Nameless graves
Hallowed by wanderers
From near and far
Some never leave the car
Because they feel
That in this place
Lie much taller men
The battlefield,
Admiring much taller men than me
Close my eyes and feel history
Are they happy, can they move?
Are my prayers getting through?
The night falls in black waves
Over stoneless rows of wild grass
Nameless graves
Hallowed by wanderers
From near and far
Some never leave the car
Because they feel
That in this place
Lie much taller men
