Now To Our Banners Flock - A Sonnet
(Section: Poetry)
Now to our banners flock past comrades lost,
Who fell to Satan's hordes in bygone times,
Rusted shields new polished and embossed
With half remembered old immortal sign.
Our clarion call hath pierced your feral sleep,
Immortal spark rekindled where it cooled;
Returning to the Cause again we keep
Some tryst death's kiss could not quite overrule.
Responding to th'intent you kept alive
With strength that leaves the rest of us in awe,
And kindness that through all dissent survived,
The dead informed with life shall rise once more.
And rightly will your legend never end
Thou man whom Man could always count his friend.
