You were electrically charged

Swift bolts of jagged edges

Held up by clouds, but you,

You couldn’t be contained

Too powerful to be harnessed

Too fiery to be claimed

As the gods of thunder roared

And the battle pursued

You fought til the end

Quietly making your way

Across the blackened skies

ruins-563629_960_720
Laid to rest at ruins feet, battered from the fight

A castle once known, now in defeat, oh how it lost its might

The many who have fought there, now dead among the grounds

Gather once again, where they, can shout their victory sounds

A cry among them, hollow, throughout the empty stone

No kingdom left to follow, they are left without a throne

Yet, still they wander, quite knightly, along these sacred lands

Where kings now lie, quit rightly, by their own very hands

For AZ…

 

A torn soul, he lost his way

Searched to find his heart

Down the shadowed road he walked

Turned back again, to start

A newer path, his freedom rang

From all he held inside

Knowing he could conquer it

He felt this sense of pride

For those who thought he needed more

They really did not know him well

The key was held within him

To unlock this living hell

From demons he would battle

Till he defeated them, one by one

A valiant warrior, determined

No longer a forgotten sun

Elfin warrior
The battle is done
Yet where are your men
What have you won?

Sit on your throne
Count the victories behind
Conquering battles
Now lost in your mind

Bury your sword
In the land you have claimed
Rejoice in the victory
Remember thy name

For you are the only one
Left to this land
Your soldiers lay wasted
By your very own hand

veterans-
For the United States, a nation free

A country proud of her liberty,

Without a second guess, you stood

And formed an earthly brotherhood.

Joined together, hand in hand

You vowed to protect our beloved land,

Lines of battle, courageously fought

You made it home, weary and fraught.

But others will never forget, you see

You’ve carved a place in history.

To our Veterans of war, we gratefully pray

May God watch over you, each night and day!
