The soldier, tortured
By dreams of his family,
Lay dying alone.
Author notes
Inspired by Kobayashi Issa's haiku:
Summer grasses,
all that remains
of soldier's dreams.
~ Issa
In a list
Dedicated to all our heroic soliders and their families.

So very sad, well done.

Yes this is sad.
And whats makes a soldiers' death even worse is it usually happens on foreign soil.
Great job conveying your thoughts on this difficult subject.

a cold way to die, is to see what you lose and how far away you are from it, this is a golden poem, keep it flowing

This is a very nicely written poem. Thanks for sharing this with us. Though I am sorry the soldier has to go through something like that all alone. I don't think anyone needs to pass all alone.
