Great Things, you said

By: asheron

1:58 am


Lakeside

Fireside

Sitting with

our backs to the world


You were only

ever

contented

with staring serenely

at your worst

enemy


It always confused me


You wore

Your Scars

like war medals


Valiantly fought

Valiantly won


Did you know

That I always

ADMIRED you?


God

We were scared

BECAUSE

with daylight would come

daybreak

daytime

and we would be weak

Again


I asked

"What's out there

for us now

that things will

never be the

same again?"


"Great Things,"

you said


A reply I never

EVER

would have expected from you


And there

lakeside

with a dying fire


I saw you smile
