Day by day,
a contortion,
bones out of shape,
out of place,
I stare at a reflection
seeming no less sane than yesterday,
but a whole lot saner than today.
What tomorrow has in wait,
but another contortion,
yet another day,
where a reflection stays,
regardless of the mirror that breaks?
A. R. Frederiksen is a recurring guest blogger here at BnV, and her own writing blog can be found here, where she dabbles in flashfiction/poetry and reflects over the ABCs of writing.

Death and Shadows
Fire and light
Exploding Shells
Through the Harrowing Night,
Tears and Sorrow
Guns and Ammo
Flags in the Dust
Soldiers in Camo,
Courage and Honor
Distinction by Hours
Memory Lasting
Scattered Flowers.
In Loving Remembrance of all those who have and who still do serve this country/ Every country. On this day of Honour as we recall the sacrifices made, it may be the best time of all to understand that ALL soldiers serve for love of their own country and to protect and honour the way of life THEY hold dear. Right or Wrong, Truth or Lies, the Soldier carries the heaviest burden.

When Fear takes Hold and tries to Break,
When Lies turn Courage into Doubt,
When Uncertainty Pierces the Light with Darkness,
When Anger chooses to Scream and Shout;
‘Tis then Compassion Walks Serenely,
And Faith Becomes the Tie that Binds,
As Hope Inspires a Blind Step Forward,
Love is the Unbroken Light Trust Finds.

Silence comes in Shadows and Rocky Pools
Where Light Reflects the Glimmering facets
Of Hope and Faith,
Courage Shimmering on the surface of the waters,
Even beneath the canopy of Overhanging fear;
Ever Shifting,
Ever Rushing onward
In the ‘plash of the River of Time.

If not for the photographer’s Lens,
Would we Truly See?
If not for the Poet’s Words,
Would we Truly Appreciate?
If not for the Courage of the Soldier,
Would we Truly Understand?
For their Sacrifice, and for all they do without Thanks, without Notice, Their Courage Speaks.

Shimmer in the Darkest Night,
Guiding, Precious, Eternal Light,
Safety for my Soul, Awaiting,
Though Trials Come While I Stand Debating.
Glimmering Glow, Resplendent to See,
Shine o’re my footsteps, Sweet Liberty,
While Change and Doubt Stealthily Hide,
Your Radiance fills me with Courage and Pride.
Shimmer, Light, in the covetous gloom,
Luminous Spark, making my Heart Bloom.
~Morgan~

In Honour of those extraordinary souls who willingly face terror and look impossibility in the eye to Protect what we hold Dear and to Fight for Liberty. In Remembrance of Those who have Fallen and those who Serve today. Thank You
I Do Not Understand War
How do you hate so much that you can
Shoot,
Maim,
Destroy,
Kill,
Indiscriminately?
How do you differ so Greatly
That you cannot see the blood pouring over
The Grass,
The Sand,
The Mud,
And that it is the same colour as yours?
How do you have the Commitment
To leave behind All that you
Hold Dear,
Cherish,
Love Beyond Words,
With the uncertainty of ever Returning?
How do you have enough Courage
To walk onto the battlefield and
Look Death in the Eye?
~Morgan~

Hope Unveils its Glimmering head
Whenever doubts claim it is dead,
Rivaling the face of treason,
Hope lends Courage, Intrepidity and Reason.
Walking past the vacant door
And all the avarice wanting more,
Hope Shields you in the dark of night,
Guiding your Vision with Illumination Bright.
Sordid Tales, weave not your lies!
Hope Stands Strong when Desperation Sighs,
And when Trust stammers in uncertainty,
Hope Shouts with Bolstering Surety.
~Morgan~
