War Has Come

The moonshines through the mist of the night,
the stars hide behind the light,
shadows pass beneath the sky,
ripples spread far and wide,
revealing the colours of a butterfly.
Whispers fill the silent air,
men move quickly as they dare;
to break the silence as they do,
when battle comes and all is through.
The men prepare to take a chance,
all waiting for the order to make their advance.
Footsteps crunch through the rough terrain;
all the men trying to refrain;
nevertheless gunshots break out in the midst of night,
for tonight is the night when their will is to fight.

Please tell me what you think

    I appreciated the way you wrote this so true, im not sure if im supposed to feel a sadness from it but I did. It made me think of my great grandfather who fought for his country :-) I cant find much wrong with it, it flowed along nicely and every word was appropriate :-)
