Night Stared
All was silent and all was still, as night stared at the two men.One wore a muddy gray uniform;the other, a muddy blue uniform.Both lives had ended due tocircumstantial fate. Neithersoldier would return home, marryor have children. Had the menmet in another time, anotherplace, perhaps they would havebeen friends. But now, all wassilent and all was still, asnight stared at the two men.
