WHISPERS IN THE GRAIN
Silent fields murmur
stories etched in weathered earth
footsteps linger still
their shadows dance with the rain
echoes of the brave remain
***
ENDURING LIGHT
Lost hearts softly breathe
woven through the quiet night
strength in stillness glows
a flicker that will not fade
guiding us through darkest hours
***
LEGACY UNBROKEN
Storms have tested them
yet they rose with steady grace
honour shining bright
memories time cannot dim
their legacy standing firm
***
SACRED NAMES
Courage blooms in grief
where the brave once laid their claim
sorrow turns to vow
in remembrance we hold them
renewing each sacred name
***
STARS OVER THE DEEP
Bright stars overhead
shadows dance on restless waves
sailors drift through fate
dreams carried like whispered foam
lost yet longing for the dawn
