“It Takes a Strong Soul” – Day 285
Twist and turn like night;
The battlefield filled with light.
The stars twinkling in the sky
While bullets and bombs fly.
Silhouette’s like sickness
Strap themselves to our bodies.
We see the falling rise.
We see the risen fall.
In the wake of forgotten tremors
And the start of newlywed days.
The shadows of the forgotten sea
Rise up overhead; twisting, turning,
The whole mystery of the earth unfurling.
It comes apart like a scroll
Left out in the wind, unrolled.
It’s old, it’s neverending
Continuing on steadfast.
Not unlike cancer, it stands till the last.
It takes strong will to beat.
It takes a strong soul.
