At the Beat of a Drum

The world cried,
Tears of many,

Dedicated to the family and memory of Drummer Lee Rigby, born July 1987, senslessly taken from the world, 22nd May 2013

And notice not the broken petals on the breeze,
Nor sense the echo of a parted...

And vanish into dust.
My soul entrenched
Under a cotton shroud,
Unable to rise.
I will never again stand 
So boldly.
Time, the only healer,
Has stopped,
