Ghazal

I think I accidentally wrote a ghazal, of sorts. Although I don't know for sure, and I hope it's not cultural appropriation.

In the silence, the morning comes.
Weapons, drones, like the sound of drums.

In the silence, I hoped for peace.
For the sweetness of release

In the silence, I tried to dream.
My slumber shattered, a child's scream.

In the silence, I cried.
Nothing left but silence for the child who died.
