PROCLAMATION
OF THE CEASE FIRE
ENDED HER AGONY
AND BROUGHT
PEACE IN HER HEART'S FLARE.
SHE ARRANGED
ALL HER MUSICAL INSTRUMENTS
AND IT'S WIRES.
STILL
REMEMBERS THOSE DAYS
IN ALL THE WAYS,
WHEN SHE USED TO PROHIBIT HIM
TO SMOKE AND DRINK,
WITHOUT THINKING
OF HIS PATRIOTIC LINK.
NOW BUSY TO GRIND
HER TROUBLING MIND,
KEEPING IT COOL AND HEART KIND.
CURIOUSLY,
WAS WAITING HIS LOVE'S ARRIVAL
FETCH A 'SCOTCH' TO CELEBRATE
THE END OF BEREAVEMENT
AND HER QUESTION OF SURVIVAL.
THE NIGHT CAME WITH UNBEARABLE COLD
THE SEARGENT ENTERED THE HOME
WITH SHAWL ENFOLD.
IN THE RAGE OF HAPPINESS,
OFFERED HIM A PEG
AND LIFT 'ONE' HERSELF AND HOLD.
ASHTONISHED
TO SEE HER TOO MUCH DELIGHTED
COULDN'T STOP
HIS TEARS TO ENLIGHTEN.
AGAIN SHE ENFORCED
TO TAKE AND HOLD
BUT COULDN'T CONSTRUE.
WHY DID HE STAND SO
SHAWL ENFOLD.
DEPRIVATION,
SHE COULDN'T BEAR
AND ADVANCED HER STEPS
TO EMBRACE THE DEAR.
THE MOMENT CAME WITH UNLUCKY FATE
SEARGENT'S SHOULDERS
COULDN'T BEAR THE SHAWL'S WEIGHT.
SHE WAS SHOCKED TO SEE HIM
WITHOUT THE ARMS
AND FORGET TO KEEP HER LIPS TO WARM.
AND MURMURED SLOWLY
MAY I SHOULD BE SO INFORMED.
TOOK SOME SECONDS TO COME IN HER FORM.
AND EMBRACE HER LOVE
IN HER TREMBLING ARMS.
