Many faces and many colors,
Burning bright amidst the scorching summers
In the summers here they lie,
Upon the meadows ,underneath the sky.
The sky today looks so blue,
Wonder whether it feels so too.
The bursts of fantasy reverberates in the air,
And they lie beside each other in their lair.
The breeze of change has come today.
A change they feared, would come someday.
Amidst the lands that was once theirs.
Wages a war, engulfed by flares.
She lies beside him, his mane all over her,
Those pretty eyes shadowed by those tears
His heart seems numb today, amidst the summer brightness,
Today he feels no hope amidst this emptiness.
She looks at him, with hopeful eyes,
Inarticulated questions streaming down her face,
He is scared too, like a man who is robbed off his air ,
He keeps staring at the doorstep, just wondering he ‘ll be there.
His son, his only son is claimed by the battle today,
Little does he know of the fate that awaits him on this day
Questions galore, entwined in his mind
Hopes and fears both, are riding behind.
The silence today has spoken its last,
Not again will his dear one’s voices be heard.
Far across the horizon, where even vision seems to fade
Memories will live on, even when their shadows are dead.
