' The Battlelights... ' Poem by MoonBee Canady

The BattleLight, On The Battlements
Glowing Against The Sky
Greets The Oncoming, Evening Dusk
As The Last Brave, Light Of Day Dies

The BattleLight, On The Battlefield
Torches … Carried In Each Soldier’s Eye
Blazes Into Fray, For Victory
Some … Have Said, Their Last Goodbyes

The BattleLight, In The Battle-Fires
Flickers Long and Scorches High
The Heat Of Battle, Crackles and Moans
As Lost Coals and Cinders Sigh

The BattleLight, On The Battleship
Explodes In Lightning, Ear-Shock Cries
Thunder Booms, Across Smoking Seas
Saluting Water-Glimmer Gravesides

The BattleLight, Of The Battle Hymn
May It Warm Hearts, Like Sunrise
Singing and Swinging, Shining Swords Of Love
With Joy and Peace … At Last, As Prize

* * *
(And, If It Is Your Luminous Will
Give Us Glory, On 10,000 Battlefields!
And In The Final Flare For Right
… Let Me Beam, As BattleLight)

* * *
The BattleLight, In These Battle-Lines
March As Far, As Bright Hope, In Size
Blister Or Burn Only HIS Enemy’s Lies
… in Red-Hot Rays Of Rhymes
