By the road I found <br>A tulip <br>Looking at the sky. <br> <br>It grew free! <br>I cut it, held it close <br>And asked it <br>Who was I? <br> <br>It let out a cry: <br>'You're a spectator <br>In this world so ready <br>For the war. <br> <br>It's all taken upon us: <br>'Like the wind's gust <br>Knocking the petals <br>To the grass, <br> <br>To have consideration <br>For another, <br>To be to a fatherless child <br>A big brother! <br> <br>In this arena of life <br>You sojourn! <br>Heart's conversing <br>Of Spring's return. <br> <br>In the shadowy main <br>Of your soul <br>There is concern <br>Of everyday quarrel. <br> <br>Music amid gunfire. <br>Beneath the asphalt <br>Sunny gleam's hidden, <br>Syllables overridden. <br> <br>I turned the page. <br>The words emerged-- <br>In this world of technicality, <br>A grim reality: <br> <br>A soldier died, <br>Mother cried... <br>Among endless seas-- <br>Please pray for peace! <br> <br>SILVANA BRKARIC KRCULIC <br> <br>(<a href="mailto:tulip77772003@yahoo.com">tulip77772003@yahoo.com</a>) <br> <br>edited c.b. <br>'
