After the Blast

Today I feel the wind
It caresses me as I stand
Yet to feel another day
Another opportunity to breath
Sweat drips and salts fill my eyes
Grit plaques my teeth
It is hot
A flash, then heat, metal, fire and smoke
My brother cries
I want to
I want to
To love
To laugh
To sing,
1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10 and again
WEW! There all there
Oh my heart sings.

Lord, I promise if you get me through this I will...............
The smoke has vanished, carried off like a dancing troop
There is no glory, no victory
Just life,

What does tomorrow bring?
Yes I feel the wind,
Kissing me like a lover,
Hugging me like a brother

Oh bother, brother?

Where is he?

Limbless?

Lifeless?

Brother?

Tears fill with pain.

He is gone.

Tears fill with joy

I'm still here.

Today I feel the wind.
