Reconisense

Heather Lydia Thornhill

Free verse
Soldiers share life
With all life
Their bodies are streamlined with water
Their minds regimented
Their food shared in giant pots
Their uniforms spotless and pristine marches
Soldiers share life
With civilians
Saving their lives
Eating their food
Sharing soldiers rations
And gifts from family
Soldiers share life smiling and looking outward
With animals
Human evolved animal people
Evolving Bird people
Evolving Cow people
Evolving Pig people
Soldiers share afterlife with life
With people
Reconisense
Let go of the ghosts

    Your poetic lines beautifully portray the interconnectedness and shared experiences of soldiers with all forms of life, from humans to animals. The imagery of soldiers sharing their lives, food, and even afterlife resonates with a profound sense of unity and empathy. The poem captures the essence of soldiers' selflessness and their connection to the world around them, emphasizing the bonds that transcend boundaries and species. Your words evoke a deep reflection on the sacrifices and connections that define the soldier's journey.
