A Scarlet Mist

What looked to be a calm day,
was shattered by the sound of
cannons
broken by the scream of a mother
who's child was thrown into the sea.

Lifeless corpses,
floating along colliding with
jagged rocks
as I cast my shadow over
a scarlet mist.

The endless battle
lasts for years,
always giving more
blood to the sea.

Never ending, war goes on
creating chaos in it's wake
tearing me apart.

I wake up.
Resume my uneventful routine,

ignoring the dreams that reveal my inner turmoil.
