A Lone Soldier
Sssshhhhhh…
A steady wave washes up the shore,
and comes a lore, depicting life before the war.
A lone soldier stands,
remembering tragedies witnessed firsthand.
Shadowy silhouette against a moonlit sky,
heard from him is one silent cry.
A single tear becomes one with the ocean,
a soldier kneels as if in slow motion.
Ssshhhhhh…
A constant breeze whispers across the land,
a reminder of serenity he can barely withstand.
A lone soldier weeps,
recollecting horrors only a warrior’s spirit keeps.
The shadow of torment alongside a starry sky,
heard from him is one forlorn sigh.
A single breath becomes one with the wind,
a soldier lies on the sand, heavy heart within.
SSSHHHHHH…
The waters churn with unearthly might,
bringing with them a thunder like distant bombs in flight.
A lone soldier awakens,
recalls the sound of war and all the corps.
He peers into the commotion,
catches a glimpse of a reflection.
His own stares back at him,
before the war, before age made him grim.
Sssshhhhhh…
A steady wave washes up the shore,
and comes a lore, depicting life before the war.
A lone soldier stares,
remembering tragedies witnessed firsthand.
Shadowy silhouette against a moonlit sky,
heard from him is one silent cry.
A single tear becomes one with the ocean,
a soldier rises as if in slow motion.
