Snow Falling Like Ashes

Snow falling like ashes blankets the bodies of the fallen -

inked to the bone for the wars they bled,

lying to themselves for the cause they swore to protect,

enshrouded by ignorance for the people who are

not like them, for they are monsters in their eyes;

cunning sorcerers who wielded flame before the onslaught,

even though they too shed tears in the falling snow.
