“And the rocket’s red glare…”
In a wide-eyed gaze he stared
heard the sounds of cannon and musket
“the bombs bursting in air”
paradise was obliterated
swatting at bugs, ignoring the moist stench
“Gave proof through the night”
trudged forward into a world resembling a mirage
life was put on hold by madness
“That our flag was still there”
he shook himself back to reality
freedom comes with a cost
Happy Forth of July to my fellow countrymen
Looking ahead, without looking back (too often)
Thanks for following a cowgirl on her crazy life journey.
Deep into that darkness peering, long I stood there, wondering, fearing, doubting, dreaming dreams no mortal ever dared to dream before. - Edgar Allan Poe
