A Soldier's Poem Transparent promises have led me astray, and slowly I approach a grave. This day has long been one for mourning. Purity for insecurity is slowly let loose. A film of mist seems to rise from the ground, and caress my numb cheeks. On this winter morning my heart is somber while my head is filled with empty air. A solitary black pebble-like stone rests on my palm like a lonely soldier forgotten in time. There are a few dents that mar the stone along with a single crack. This stone lost its spirit long before I could cry while fighting in wars I could never understand. I kneel before the tombstone with a full heart remembering the songs my master sang. Clack! The black stone is finally put to rest on the tomb as the last remnant of a time long gone by. The last resounding cry of the stone echoes in my heart ravaging it and pulling the strings apart. A drop of crystal clear liquid lands upon the last soldier seeping into the cracks as more drops join it. Overhead the clouds give way to a single stream of sunlight, and it bathes me in a warmth that is no stranger. The last solider will forever sing his songs to the angels as he joins his brothers and sisters in serenity. I rise like the wounded wolf but with a head held high knowing this soul has finally been to rest with a final... Clack! |
