The silent hero

The snow was white all over, its shining texture hiding the soldier in plain sight... the border was near, he held the position of sentry, looking out for intruders... he slept in a hollow in the snow...neatly carved in exact precision, hiding his rifle within... his eyes remained transfixed on the imaginary enemy, he kept looking at the whitest of white sheets of snow covering the lovely valleys... He seemed to smile onto himself , lucky to have watched this awe inspiring sight... even as the cold winds lashed, the snow sending chilling shards into his body he looked without flinching into his vast realm of fire... his stomach growled in hunger, he picked a small piece of meat and chewed... out of the corner of his eyes, he saw movement, his trained eyes capturing the enemy in his vision... Soon six shadows crept along the white expanse of the valley... he waited for them to cross beyond the border... When he observed their guns , he moved to signal the alarm... Within seconds the border was patrolled by its protectors... but the soldier stood up, proudly gazing at his work... two rounds of fire ripped through his body, hot young red blood spurted high into the air and came crashing down into the white snow , decorating it red... Just now

Phoenix

I am a phoenix,do not count me out... i shall fall once, twice, and many times more, i shall rise again with every fall... I am strong, my weaknesses will fall, as the smoke rises, i shed the past... I am a phoenix, i shall still fight long after my breath is gone... the fire shall be my source of strength, it shall burn away my flaws... I am a phoenix, and i shall rise again...
