Sentinel

Night bridge to nowhere
Guarding starry western sky
Will they come in peace?

Another thought ...Looking up at the stars in the sky behind the bridge, one wonders, what other life forms may exist. And, should they visit us, will they be friendly?

The soldier on guard hopes he has an uneventful night ...doesn't want to get into any scruff. Not tonight. Wishful thinking. I enjoyed gaining this perspective of this military post/job.

Interesting perspective. I like the question at the end--leaves the reader with something to ponder about. If this is for the contest, best wishes. Keep on writing! Karen
