A Soldier

‘A Soldier’

I am a twisting turning wisp of a
 breeze
I flutter and float
I flutter in and flutter out
What do I see before me
My  invitation
A crack of a window
Enough for me to enter
I swirl
I twirl 
I float and I flutter
What do I feel
A desperate sensation of unhappiness
A dark gloomy room
Dark place
Sadness engulfs me
Loss is all around
A tear is falling
A soul is lost to the world
I stay awhile
Quietly
I rest
I feel the pain
I feel the hurt
I lick the wound gently
Again and again
Gently, I rise
My job is done
I am alone again
Fluttering, floating,

What do I see?
An open door
In? Shall I? 
Yes
Aaaaahhh
Warmth 
The warm glow of a flickering flame
Desire
I feel comfort
I feel peace
I stay awhile
I whirl and I twirl 
A kiss is taken
As only a lover knows how to steal
The flame bows and bends as we cast  our spells together
Creating the most mystical, magical world of beauty and colour
I am a silent intruder here
Not wanted, not welcome
This is not my resting place the night
I must take my leave
I flutter and I float

What do I see
What do I feel
It is dark
So cold
No warmth here
No colour
No joy
No love 
Grey 
Barren 
Emptiness engulfs me
Surrounds me 
I lay to rest 
A hard slab of icy stone
A name
A withered flower
A blade of grass lonely and swaying 
I do not care to dance with it
I have no flutter
I am still
Be still
Be silent
Just be

Aaaah I am sleepy
I shall comfort you my friend
Whose name one does not  see
Who are you that needs my comfort?
What is your name my friend? 
I rest 
I stay 
I feel at peace
Looking up I now see
I see the name
It makes sense
I know who you are
If others do not
A Soldier
I am here for you
I will stay and rest awhile
