Whispers of the Soul

Military

Between Sand and Stars

The desert stretches wide, an endless sea of gold,
Where the sun beats down, fierce and bold.
Boots sink in the sand, weighed by the heat,
As the dust coats our faces, and the days repeat.

The air is dry, the winds howl fierce,
And the silence of nothing cuts sharp as it pierces.
Here, in the chaos of endless demands,
We fight with our hearts and our calloused hands.

But as day slips away and the light fades to dusk,
The sky opens wide, with a quiet hush.
Between sand and stars, we find solace and grace,
As the night brings a calm to this unforgiving place.

Above, the stars shimmer like diamonds in black,
A reminder of home, of all that we lack.
In the stillness, we breathe in the cool desert air,
And for a moment, the world feels lighter, more fair.

The harshness retreats, the battle subsides,
As we gaze at the heavens where peace always hides.
In this moment of beauty, amidst all that's wrong,
We're reminded of love, of hope, and of song.

For even in war, in the struggle and fight,
There's comfort found under a blanket of night.
Between sand and stars, we reclaim our soul,
Finding fragments of peace to make us feel whole.

Tomorrow the sun will rise, and the battle will call,
But tonight, under starlight, we forget it all.
For here, in the quiet, we remember our hearts,
And the stars above guide us, lighting our parts.

Between sand and stars, we stand and we wait,
For the day when we'll leave this desolate state.
But until that time comes, we'll cherish the skies,
And find beauty in starlight, where our hope lies.
