Shine On

‘For all that you are, and all that you do
a soldier my salute to you’ the Indian Army(quote)

My thoughts surf on a shiny wave
I look beyond an ocean maze
The sun dips into twilights cave
The moon shines like a shield
To protect all who are brave
A shimmering silver mirror
An ocean and lights dancing twirl
Two magnets my eyes are drawn
To the dark filled with shining stars
An unshed tear shines with a brimming haze
Sitting silently upon my gaze.
