"We Survive"

London 1942

     

Echo of sound ring high This cold wet London eve It flows through the city Like doves on the wing The bells are the signal Time to proceed Shelters are  safe haven below Drones from engines thunder high in the sky Sirens scream to deploy Run for your life Search out your God Pray as never before Cries of babies and children Ring out from terrors of nightmares re-lived Death and destruction lay a-round Previous nights we endured Our heavenly father we pray up above Salvation for children we seek City in shambles The bombers retreat Sirens sing out all clear Time for my family and me to be gone Pack up and leave this old town Bow bells would ring to remember this day History will tell us its tale Man can survive every turmoil and strife Oh, father we pray to you gw

You took the reader to places of thoughts and history. I could feel the accepted of life and the energy to escape the city. The old memory came to life in vision with your strong description. Thank you for sharing the excellent poetry.

The cadences are sublime in this piece.

This is not an easy subject to write about, and few can really encompass it. You did it beautifully! I felt fear, anger, and sorrow.

Great write Deepwater!
