Ashes to ashes, Dust to dust

A soldier will fight long and hard for a bit of colored ribbon.
~Napoleon

And so I saw the heart a young soldier ungracefully receive his prize for his service; A wasteful mix of lead and copper, crafted to kill, almost gleeful at fulfilling its purpose.

War does not determine who is right - only who is left.
~Bertrand Russell

And he was left to ponder all that was unfinished in his life...

So he pondered while he could, his lips hitting the dirt, gazing as the blood from his own withered cough united with the dust that would bear witness to the final 15 seconds of a young man's life.

Older men declare war. But it is the youth that must fight and die.
~Herbert Hoover

Love

"Love anything and your heart will be wrung and possibly broken. If you want to make sure of keeping it intact you must give it to no one, not even an animal. Wrap it carefully round with hobbies and little luxuries; avoid all entanglements. Lock it up safe in the casket or coffin of your selfishness. But in that casket -- safe, dark, motionless, airless -- it will change. It will not be broken; it will become unbreakable, impenetrable, irredeemable. To love is to be vulnerable."

-- C.S. Lewis

We've been running away at the speed of life,
Troubles chasing us at the speed of strife.
Some have chosen to turn and fight.
Others, have been overtaken.

JoH

The Jack of Hearts,
I believe was your card.
You picked it by choice,
But you picked one too hard.

Among all other cards,
You chose to choose one.
You brushed hearts of many,
But truly owned none.

Love is not petty,
To be changed on mere whims.
Once a Jack of all trades,
You're a Jack of all things.

If you have more than one,
But cannot decide,
Where then my friend,
Will your true love reside?

If you waste all your time,
Till it's too late to start.
Then a Jack you'll remain,
A poor Jack of Hearts.




Inspired by a combination of staring at my ghost deck, and thinking about fickle love
