My Soldier

My soldier, my rock,

I’ll look for you at dawn,

When the silence glows around me,

And the sun bursts forth across the sky

Like a phoenix.

My soldier, my rock.

You are beside me

You are the complex of paper shadows

Amongst the weary trees,

That dog my footsteps.

My soldier, my rock,

You design my every thought,

You wrap my soul in meaning,

Meaning, fire, and love,

My soldier, my rock.

Whilst my life flourishes on,

And carves its intricate story,

Please

Wait for me

Follow me

Haunt me

My soldier, my rock, my love.
