watchful soldier with his heart in his hands
guarding it for everything without
a proper suit & armor
exposed to burning sun & the viscous plans of men
riding out the exposure
cruel to the cold and mournful to the eyes
rain down on these dirty soaked arms and wipe away the salt from
his eyes and lips
read his face for any signs of life
redirect his attention
the bodyguard
maintain the light inside his eyes
guard it secretly for all time
