You brought realism into the helm fast! " Drops of blood from warriors" The creek behind my house had bucket loads of tomahawks and arrowheads at one time.

Magnificent imagery, Sunshine. You reminded me of the River Styx in mythology, especially with the blood of warriors. Truly stunning! Hugs, Carolyn

The emotion in this one is felt by me. Sad to remember that so many have died in some form of a battle on this soil. If for a contest, reads like a good contender to me. Way to go. Thanks for your visit to my page. Sara

Hello Sunshine Smile, right! Life is not fully enjoyed by everyone. Too many death. Wearing a mask and having trouble with glasses that fog up. It is not easy. Hugs Darlene

- Life is not fully enjoyed today (behind our protection masks) ... "shadows" that we experience today ... death takes too many lives ... we fight against ... as warriors ... but far too many lose ... the river is cold ... very cold, Darlene :) - Many thanks for your comments :) - hugs // Anne-Lise :)
