this is war
ancient warrior ghosts
mists over the foreign highlands –
waiting for the full moon
winter moon behind the mists
defiant samurais stand
blood is drawn for peace
clamorous colliding swords
bloodied leaves weigh down
in midst of bloodied battle
tempered swordsmen dueling
many have fallen
a violent death to all –
victorious ending?
spring blossoms bless the fallen
the casualties of war
