The Dreamers

Glenn Ward Dresbach

WAR gnawed the bones of nations; Hunger went

Into the hearts and souls of people. Then

The dreamers called their tenderest dreams and sent

Them out to stay the carnage of brave men …

Back to the dreamers came the dreams’ lament,

“Oh, take your swords, that we may live again!”
