No Man's Land: Flanders, France, 1919

A TIME FOR WAR, A TIME FOR PEACE

There can be no more
beautiful sound
than that of silent guns -
the silent sound of Peace -
the country 'round.
The absence of the sound of shelling
No messenger to bring news of death
to any dwelling -
The lovely sound of no one gunning -
The lovely sight of no blood running.

A TIME FOR WAR, A TIME FOR PEACE
