Thoughts I have

Ever hear the whistle of the wind
The beating of a drum
The warrior cry from the men
The defiant mind till it's done

Ever walk the broken path
Ever fly to the sun
Ever burn and then fall
The bullet fired from the gun

Ever see the past and present tense
Ever remember the broken fragments
Ever forget about the truth inside
The voices fluctuate in cadence

Ever open your eyes but only see dark
No light will shine, a soul ripped apart
A mission to rescue but trouble awaits
A lonely man grieves, alone at the start

Your virtue may differ
Your reason may change
Your destiny may go
The man in the mirror was strange

Questions about the unknown
Answers for all but no proof
Relief from this you will pray
But a mystery unsolved by a sleuth

A guess but a warning to heed
A trial but jury will stare
A moment but silence is deafening
The reality of life is impossible to bare

A soldier's journey to fight for his home
A king's sworn in to defend the kingdom
A knight gives all he has to protect
The people are fighting for freedom

A story is told by the few
A lesson is taught by the old
A movement is made by the most passionate
And some leave in search of some gold

A trail with no way back
A road with nowhere to turn
A choice that you can't change
A life that you have to earn
