birthday poem

why do you always stand there shivering
when a deed is done for freedom
skies they were ashen and sober
there was never a sound beside the wood but one
but alas, just dreams
within this lowly grave a conqueror lies
beneath the warrior's helm
their beautiful hair
and so it goes
i cannot always feel his greatness
of sun nor stars
from our hidden places
i saw the clouds among the hills
