"in hiding" --revised

Wounded--
a gasp, a stagger--
she fell away,
and in the midst
he lay there--
slain--
the foe of such a life--
of faint hearts
and cold eyes--
ground lost to tired feet
falling so soon?
wake the souls--
here comes the charge.

"in hiding"

Like an open wound
she fell away,
and in the midst
he lay there--
slain--
the foe of such a life--
of faint hearts
and cold eyes--
shall it all be done away?
and soon?
The taste of a sweet rebirth--
here comes the morning.
