" On Bravery "

" On Bravery "

The donning of bravery is never slight
It is instantaneous
And "of" the moment
For bravery is worn innocently
And briefly
As "honor" is but the revealing
Of virtue
So is bravery the brief exposure
Of fleeting images
On the micro-film of valor
Where an individual displays
His true colors
And blood
The final rung on the ladder
Of the spectrum's
Magenta's
And the place
Where a colorful death awaits
Just on the other side
Of blind
Victory.....

Tony Taylor    (Chicago)

Hey bro, look at all thee lovely complements makes one sis proud to be in your life,
beautiful write you have created an ambience of glorified honour right here, a tragedy of deaths embrace for ones soul in transaction with the lord above, in the name of love and virtue, bravery upon final breath, serving more purpose within the light of love, than that of any honour, sorry if I'm babbling the weather is toasty in Australia today, my brain is cooking on overdrive,
anyway my five stars, fav and high five
& hugs and kisses your sis down under nardine xoxo
