Robert wise, just in case

This is what a read at the service for my best friend. He was killed in Iraq 2 weeks after his 21st birthday.

Candle light flickers
The shadows cast eerie movies of feelings no one else knows
Feelings lost like the suns rays on a cold snow filled day
The hurricane of emotions I hide deep inside
Never letting go
Never losing sight
The never ending story of a lost soldier trying to find it’s way back
Only to be fooled by the mirage of home.
Just as the lost man in the hot steamy dessert is teased by the promise of water….
