Poem
The day that lasted for ever, a day that could not be undone. The day that lasted for ever, as I laid there in the sun, the pop pop of weapons fire is all that i could understand. Something had happened, something that could not be undone, my body was doing a functions check, but could not complete the task, Something bad had happen, something I could not comprehend. The day that lasted for ever had only just begun. The smell of burning materials The stench of blood and flush, as weapons fire filled the air, gun powder was ever where but nothing did I fear. The day that lasted for ever, had begun to run its course. The blood began to drip and pool on the desert floor, as my sight began to grow foggy and disappear. The day that lasted for ever seemed to never end, I could feel the sun grow hot and feel the wind blow, but all I could do was lay there waiting as the end grew near. The day that lasted forever had just begun to roar, as I lay there in the sand, the distinct smell of hydraulic fluid begin to fill the air. I know that something bad had happened, as my breathing began to fade, my eyes grow really heavy as the weapons fire grow near. The day that lasted for ever Was coming to a close, A peace and pleasant feeling was beginning to take hold, the smell of beautiful flowers begin to fill the air. The day that lasted for ever was a beautiful peaceful feeling As the end was growing near. The day that lasted for ever, peace was finally here, My body grows numb I felt no pain, I felt free from everything, as growing love began to appear, my body lay there in the sand for this is what i'm told. i could not hear the gun fire nor smell the rotting ugly smells, I could not feel the blood that continued to flow and drip, into the sandy floor, I found it hard to breathe right now, I think it's time to go. The day that lasted for ever Had almost been composed. I woke up looking straight up as the Blackhawk rotors roared. Something had happened something that can not be told. A smiling face looked down over me The words were crystal clear Welcome back my brother, It was not your time to go. The day that lasted for ever is still being told
