Literature Text

I stand at the edge of a battlefield
Holding my breathe
Waiting for my life to be taken

Far off a light shines
A ray of hope
The face of an angel

My comrades call to me for backup
My heart calls to me from the other direction
I’m torn in two

My body follows my fellow soldiers
My soul follows the angel of hope
I go two separate ways

I may have died on that battlefield
My soul may have had no place to go
If not for my angel of hope
Dave asked if he could see more of my writing, and sent me a very heartfelt email, so I was inspired to write this. It'd be interesting to hear people's interpretations if you like to post them. I won't laugh, promise :)

A person torn between two worlds, one of fantasy with the ideal, and the very harsh reality that s/he can only face with his/her comrades with any hope of survival... at least, that's what I get from it. :)
