Dead Meadowcountry as flag

I searched the vast expanse of lea,
With stones etched, in memory, of another day
When peace not found, and conflict real
Before destiny's door in doom did seal
Trampled flora, an untended site
Vague recollections, thru shadowy light
Scattered parcels, or plots, if you may
Sanguinary remnants of a fearful day
The rains did fall, and ne'er to wane
And winds of terror blew again
I saw it all with mirthless rue
Dead Meadows scene
A view askew
