Compounded by my current deployment, the silence and darkness of my environment and watching the movie "The Hours", I was moved to write this poem.
Death is here
It's all around you
It keeps calling
Calling out your name
Try to avoid it
Avoid it as much as you can
Ignore the whispers
As it draws
Draws closer to you
Once you start
Start to finally listen
It creeps in you
Creeps In your soul
Like a virus
Virus out of control
Did you let it in? "Suicide"
Or did it force itself? "Homicide"
Listen
Listen closely
As close as you can
Death is all around you.
Boo. "Happy" Halloween.
