A/N: Written for the Prompts in Steps Challenge on the Digimon Fanfiction Challenges Forum (link's in profile), step 1 – 5: serenade.
Strangers, Saviours
The silent peace never forgot the voices
that had cried themselves hoarse
to give them back their world.
They never forgot the tears
that had revitalised their soil,
the blood that had seeped into the earth
and coaxed the tender shoots
to grow.
They never forgot the laughter,
the smiles of joy that lit the fires
in their hearts, set them running
on the plains.
They never forgot the strangers
that had left footprints in the soil,
the heroes from another world
who'd brought with them their hope.
They never forgot their pain,
their suffering, the growth:
all the things they'd given
and received for that world.
