Signal Fire

A cycle of poems «Your Wounds Are Deep»

In the stillness of the night, where shadows dance and play, 
A warrior stood on the edge, where the lost souls drift away. 
With a heart forged in battle, and a spirit worn and torn, 
He gazed into the distance, where the flame of hope was born. 

Oh, signal fire, light the darkened skies, 
Guide me through the silence, where my fallen brothers lie. 
In the ashes of our glory, in the echoes of our cries, 
I’ll carry your memory until the day I rise. 

Once he roamed with honor, his blade a shining light, 
But the weight of countless battles turned his dreams to endless night. 
Each scar upon his body told a story of despair, 
For every victory claimed, a piece of him laid bare. 

Oh, signal fire, light the darkened skies, 
Guide me through the silence, where my fallen brothers lie. 
In the ashes of our glory, in the echoes of our cries, 
I’ll carry your memory until the day I rise. 

He remembered laughter shared beneath the ancient trees, 
The warmth of love’s embrace, carried softly on the breeze. 
But time is a cruel mistress, and fate’s an unforgiving hand, 
As he stood there in the darkness, he felt the shifting sand. 

With a torch in his hand, he ignited the flame, 
A beacon for the lost ones, calling out their names. 
In the flickering light, he saw their faces clear, 
Every brother and sister who had fought without fear. 

Oh, signal fire, light the darkened skies, 
Guide me through the silence, where my fallen brothers lie. 
In the ashes of our glory, in the echoes of our cries, 
I’ll carry your memory until the day I rise. 

As dawn broke on the horizon, painting skies with gold, 
The warrior knelt in silence, his heart heavy but bold. 
For in every flicker of that flame that burned so bright, 
Lived the souls of ancient warriors who would never fade from sight. 

Oh, signal fire, forever you will burn, 
A testament to courage and the lessons we must learn. 
In the hearts of those who follow, your light will never tire, 
For we are all connected by this sacred signal fire.
