There is a calmness to be found
When blood is spilled
The strange quiet after
The burst of violence
The dull silence after
The sharp, stinging pain
The quiet in the mind
After so many voices
Continuously overlapping one another
As if the volume is suddenly turned down
After it was at maximum for hours
Peaceful yet strangely awakening
Watching your life force
Pouring out in a thin ribbon
A reminder of how fragile the body is
After much of the war centered in the mind....
