Taste not Defeat

Taste not defeat
For tomorrow in the depth of all fear
We shall stand together
Shine forth our lights and combat despair

No man left alone
We will fight to protect
Country, king and home

As we prepare this evening
Take all you hold dear
Hold them close, whisper in their ears
The words they wish to hear

One last time
Share with them a meal
Set peace to their minds
For tomorrow we ride for Rhine

Valiant we shall stand
To oppose the king that fights against our land

You gave such an amazing mood ... and picture follows tye visions that came up after reading that meaningful poem

Great! I love this!

nice post ,,, you have good blog , Good luck. Comrade

Sounds amazing!

does this mean something more than the words to you too?

Yeah, this to me is an image of the real world, as a adolescent you leave behind your loved ones so secure a home and a kingdom, you fight against daily trial that may come as stumbling blocks and through it all you may never return to that same state you where as a child.

yes true - never return we have to live in a shattered real world for adults and make it head to wards the truth and beauty we left behind.

A soldier poem :) Good one.

"For tomorrow we ride the Rhine" - so EPIC! Great piece, thanks for sharing. Following you now!

I just did posted a poem myself if you're interested!

I'll check it out ☺ thanks!

Nice! Seems like a bit different style than some of your other poems. I like the optimism and fierceness. You must've been in a courageous mood :D What inspired you to write on this theme if you don't mind me asking?

I game a lot, And I felt like I could concur anything at that moment and that's what inspired me :)

haha very cool.

Ethan, you should write a book with all the poems and articles you have written. Or start a journal now so you can compile your life's work into something to share with others. You have so much talent and so much inner spirit that there isn't enough time in the day to put it into words. I actually look forward to your posts because they mean a lot to me and they bring me a sense of being. I wish I could write poetry but alas I'm not talented in that area. I only have my memories which also bring me joy. Because of all you young writers, I've been motivated to write about my old days of growing up to share my happy moments. See you also inspired me to remember! :D

I'm glad, Everything I post on steemit is already recorded, but I'm not sure how I'd write a book about it. I look forward to you next post :)

Nice! ! :-)
