Officer Down

Officer down
Fell like a feather
Wrapped in leather
Red and blue colors spread for you
Face white and true
A flag unfurled
His body curled
A mighty fall
The silent call
The grieving widow
Shattered grief
Almost a relief
An outline against the gray
Endless day
Folded flag
Body bag
Empty pillow
Feathers fluffed
Candle snuffed.
