Sometimes images make a tremendous impression on me, whether they are painted or some other form of art from the imagination of someone's mind, or photographs of actual events. I love good photography, it is the capturing of time.
Dedicated to Lt. Brian Sorensen, the Royal Danish Navy, and his Band of Brothers
Last Light
The gunfire is over, the rockets are silent, and once again rule has returned.
Innocents are safe, the fires are out, and now nothing else burns.
The wounded have been borne to the medical shelter for needed care.
Stories have been exchanged of exactly what happened there.
Then steals the pain that they have sustained great loss.
The battle was won, but oh at such a great cost.
Their brother will never again stand to their right
His weapons forever are laid down, and no more will he fight.
Hearts of the brave reel with unseen wounds that cause great pain.
As the sun sets that evening they remember where they found him lain.
His soul, his voice, his laughter, are no longer held in this world.
The flag at half mast signals toward heaven they’ve been hurled.
As the last of the rays which illuminate this their temporary home,
Sink in the distance they chill each silent Soldier to the bone.
Then a final diamond bright light touches the flag pole in farewell.
Signaling to each that forever the memory of his life will be held.
