Part 1
***
The Unexpected Path
Orders lead me on.
Roads I never thought to walk.
Purpose found in dust.
***
Calm Within Chaos
Gunfire fades to breath.
A still mind in the madness.
Calm between heartbeats.
***
Life’s Delicate Balance
Armour on, heart soft.
Strength and fear walk side by side.
Balance forged in fire.
***
Woven Brotherhood
Laughs, loss, silent nods.
Threads of lives stitched into one.
Brothers stand as one.
***
Embrace the Unknown
New ground under boots.
Change comes with each dawn we face.
Step into the dark.
***
Rhythm of the March
Bootsteps drum the earth.
Hearts beat in a steady line.
Marching into fate.
***
Hidden Lessons
Scars beneath the kit.
Lessons learned in silent watch.
Wisdom earned, not told.
***
Turning Deployments
Tours come, tours will end.
Stories carried home within.
Chapters etched in time.
***
Steady in the Storm
Rain, fire, and long nights.
Hold the line through every storm.
Strength stands unbroken.
