Rolling hills in verdant hues.
Tranquil getaway.
Morning sunrays gleam.
Birdsong chorus, country side.
Beautiful dawn breaks.
Quaint, hidden cottage.
Garden blooms, rich floral scents.
Paths through green embrace.
Majestic trees rise.

"Bugle's sombre call.
Dawn breaks with solemn silence.
Day of remembrance.
Fields of poppies bloom,
Crimson as the blood once spilled.
Freedom's heavy cost.
History's pages,
Tales of youth and valour lost.
Their stories hold fast.
Peace in memory.
Names etched in stone, souls lay rest.
Their sacrifice known.
Silent monuments.
Echoes of the brave long gone.
We remember them."

Smashed by contrary actions.
Mirror reveals truth."
NO LONGER
"We once stood so close.
Seasons changed and so did you.
Time won't turn its tide.
Laughter into void,
I reach for who you once were.
My hand left empty.
Memories recalled,
Your past self, an apparition.
Haunting my dreams still.
If only wishes
Could restore yesteryear's glow.
I miss your old light.
I knew you like dawn,
But night cloaked our paths. Lost you.
Longing for sunrise."
CASUAL FAREWELL

Withdrawn, bored indifference.
Time to leave it be."

Applause fades into silence.
Lights dim, show's over."

Pages whisper soft farewells.
Sunset on the tale."

Bittersweet goodbye, heart breaks.
Memories remain."
