Soldiers
Who will stand
by your side
when you brave
the final miles
of your life
Who deserves
to partner with
the soldiers in your soul,
to wade unchartered waters
like a warrior forgotten,
letting uncertainty glide
over you
like a passing wave
What army will you take
on your quest
to self-discovery;
where do you
rush to
when the war is over
At night
when all is silent,
who will stay by your side
until the distant sunlight
meets the mountains,
and you fall
to your knees
with forgiveness
