That tender moment is still within Still
as the pain of parting was hard to take
not knowing when our bodies would touch
in the long nights that had yet to be.
Bad dreams ran through my thoughts
would I ever touch or smell your being
off to war your orders had told you
flying with your comrades and crew!
Countless news reports and horror stories
had made us feel an internal dread
forewarned of the dangers that lay ahead
in a country where there was bitterness.
A distant world that was far from me
isolated in an area of frightening hostility
where communication was greatly restricted
and far to many heinous images depicted!
When would that moment guide you back
how empty is the soul that I alone possess
stabbing pains started to make me shake
a nagging voice then invaded my sensorium.
As contact was suddenly lost with you today
two soldiers came reluctantly to my door.
for your country with regret you had died
in sadness I mourn my heart filled with pride!
The sacrifices that the military undertake in action
brings for some cause for violent reaction!
if only that elusive peace could one day be achieved
forever the hatred from mans lives relieved!
