Fire and Smoke

Keep caution Amongst their souls I will end in fire But not with you Not together Keep vigilance Through the darkness I shall perish in flame But you must go on The others need you Keep courage In the battle Glory I go through smoke But you must stay Your time is not yet Keep returning From losses I see fire and smoke But you see hope Pass it on You are their leader now Keep love Even in anger I am trapped Yet you are free Motivate them Soldiers Or they will come to my fate Keep your heart and soul Even as you fall apart I see death While you see life Give it to them Or they will lose it I see fire Fire and smoke Spiraling to the sky The night is burning I must close my eyes The sky is crashing down I see smoke Smoke and fire Burning the wind The city is gone I am broken But you are not Keep me In your memory Or you will break

You can do serious writing too, I see here, Grace. This abstract piece leads me to appreciate the internal battles that our military goes through because of their dedication to the task of freedom. Thanks for sharing, Grace.
