In silence,&nbsp;&nbsp;
He stands alone,&nbsp;&nbsp;
Heart pounding like distant drums,&nbsp;&nbsp;
Courage battles fear within,&nbsp;&nbsp;
A soldier&#39;s breath.&nbsp;&nbsp;

Ghosts of doubt&nbsp;&nbsp;
Whisper in shadows,&nbsp;&nbsp;
Yet he tightens his grip tight,&nbsp;&nbsp;
The weight of honour, steadfast,&nbsp;&nbsp;
He moves forth.&nbsp;&nbsp;

Mirror Cinquain The Soldier Brave

In silence,
He stands alone,
Heart pounding like distant drums,
Courage battles fear within,
A soldier’s breath.

Ghosts of doubt
Whisper in shadows,
Yet he tightens his grip tight,
The weight of honour, steadfast,
He moves forth.
