Be Quiet

"Hushhh",
whispered the wind
in a ghostly voice on a barren field.
"Hushhh",
in muted tones
from a drawn and gray faced sky.
Slivers of grass
like green toned glass
lay down before the wind,
but above me on the hill,
whipped by the hushing wind,
was a sliver of white
like a mute swan's wings,
waving and waving still.
Tied and bound to a stake,
a weathered cross with a blackened point,
its shredded fingers touched my face,
caressing, teasing wisps of cloth,
soft despite the roughening wind
etched with dirt and sand.
I grasped it gently,
calloused fingers rubbing strands
of worn threads,
fingering edges torn
and roughly shorn.
No imaginations voiced
from what it had been ripped
and why.
The wind whispered "hushhh"
with the frowning clouds.
I stubbornly closed my eyes
to the dark and angry skies
and listened to the pleading
sounds of the cloth, whipped back and forth,
alone.
I started to untie it,
its begging holes like eyes,
when my eyes dropped to the ground,
packed dirt,
smashed by a booted heel,
one end of the stake
driven
harshly
through the middle.
A slab of stone lay by the stake,
gray like the skies,
gray like the seas,
almost unintelligible words
roughly cut on to its surface.
All I could make out was
"daughter of".
I glanced at the cloth,
whipping and whipping still,
crying as a cloth can cry.

I wonder what her name was.

Hoped you liked it and here's a another poem for fun, I wrote this one when I was 7 so whatever.
