Nightmares... Life is soothing in the sunshines bright light, But begins to get scary with the coming of night, You fall asleep, but dreams fill your mind, Of days of terror once thought left behind. Of days in a trench living next to each other, Seeing the pieces of what once was a brother, Who he was, no one will know, Only part of his leg and one hand to show. The loud artillery fires up its shell, Followed by a blast that casts its spell, There is nowhere to go, no place to hide, As the small bits of shrapnel spreads ever so wide. Again it is quiet, but you still hold the ground, Shocked at first by the absence of sound, The heartbeat slows and you wake to find, Its just another dream playing tricks with your mind. These scenes of war from years long ago, Are kept buried inside so no one will know, And although you try with all your might, You cant stop the nightmares that come with the night. Dave Lilburn
