Behind the silence, a watchful soul remains—
Not a soldier, but a prayer wrapped in names.
In every tale of war and whispered plea,
A friend’s voice echoes, never holy, just free.
He doesn’t sit on a hero’s throne,
But by the window, quiet and alone.
His weapons— pen, poem, and memory’s flame—
Guardian of what was, keeper of hope’s name.

Behind the silence, a watchful soul remains—
Not a soldier, but a prayer wrapped in names.
In every tale of war and whispered plea,
A friend’s voice echoes, never holy, just free.
He doesn’t sit on a hero’s throne,
But by the window, quiet and alone.
His weapons— pen, poem, and memory’s flame—
Guardian of what was, keeper of hope’s name.
A quiet keeper of stories stands watch, holding names, memories, and hope long after the battles fade. Copy and paste link to my Instagram page https://www.instagram.com/longjohn0455/
