Rain And War Poem by Barry Middleton

As thought is silenced by the rain,
all that's left are feelings.
The mind is empty of its pain,
the stars are gently reeling.

And peace may find the world tonight,
until the break of dawn,
then men will rise from death to fight,
as endless wars rage on.

But as I hear the peaceful rain,
I dream of times to come,
the war to wipe out every stain,
when wars at last are done.

It ends in fire and ice they say,
so I am safe from flood,
when Armageddon comes our way,
consuming flesh and blood.
