Beauty

My heart pumps in desperation to find a reason to rejoice, or, if all else fails, to flail in wild abandon in search of some eternal prize. On the verge of losing face on Saturday night in the midst of finished faces up and down the barracks hallway.... No adventure tonight but hanging with a few NCO's in a cramped room shooting the shit. I reach from the depths to meet their stares with my own unique experience. The beauty I've known out-weighed the horrors of combat...at least tonight.
