The Tombs of warriors: Not merely made!

The tombs of warriors are not 'merely' made of marble,
nor only found inscribed in places of still remembrance,
but in the deep waters,
the silent moors,
the stifled laugh,
are they made real.

In the faint cry heard, then lost, upon the wind
they are found upon the hearts of those,
mourning loved ones lost,
and in the pride of a nation served,
comrades loved,
and humanity redeemed through sacrifice and loss.
