Shadows Cast Behind the Shine
Shining Soldier
lost and free
tell me please
what you use to be
You who once shined
like glistening gold
now worn down
you've gotten old
You see shadows
all around you they groan
for they too are lost
minds longing for home
Look out to the beyond
where grass meadows grow
old warriors lay resting
yet few who recall
as you sit but to wonder
"am I next to fall?"
Shining soldier
take rest now
your duties are done
world forged where the new sun may shone
Now you rest among those gone before
a statue in place to remind us be brave
guide children of tomorrow
to the light of Today.
(C) Bluefire Night
*not all battles are seen, whether one fights physical wars/emotional wars/or wars of one's own mind all leave scars.
