In Wait
Dark have been my dreams of late
My heart aroused, within a panicked state
From dusk to dawn I gaze upon the morrow
Again I seek the auburn sky, so I lay in wait
No resting eyes, at any rate
I'm closing in on my fortune fate
I need to muster faith, and courage borrow
The end is nigh, and I....approach destiny's gate
My heart aroused, within a panicked state
From dusk to dawn I gaze upon the morrow
Again I seek the auburn sky, so I lay in wait
No resting eyes, at any rate
I'm closing in on my fortune fate
I need to muster faith, and courage borrow
The end is nigh, and I....approach destiny's gate

It was certainly an interesting write for me. I once heard a recording from the 1920s, a man recorded his great grandfather who fought in the Civil War. It might still be on YouTube, I think you would find it very interesting.
Thanks for reading my poem!

Dear CC,
Poignant and extremely touching. Trying to place myself in the role and how surreal it must be to know the end is nigh. I like the prayerful quality you gave it Great piece.
