Loving a Hero

Awaken the mind in a misty haze, an ever lonely shadow looming over a frame of discontent.
He is gone for a while and one day soon farewell forever shores,
 The distance rips like tides to the stone, driving emotions forward onward, upward and
downward. 
Safety is the key to silence and hearts rest, yet blaring cannons of hate deters the
feeling of harmonic awe.  
The sound of the voice so plain yet fulfilling to hear of success and captured glory, 
Yet all is false and ignorant to the unseeing eye and from the end of contact comes the
beginning of uncertainty.
Many moons and many hours across the lands and hills and mountains, a journey of slight
yet a carrier of so much.
Itchy feet on mothers ground,
A sigh, a hug, a heartbeat.
