First light 

Rushing in 

dazzling, dancing 

Overwhelming 

New

crawling ever nearer

my fate in your hands

kismet never clearer

further descent of snow

dead weight on icy rock

The whistle blows to sound the charge

and over the top they bustle and barge,

covered from head to toe in mud

and soon tainted with flesh and blood.

Up the ladder with slippery rungs,

a scream of rage from terror filled lungs,

adrenalin coursing through every vein

with the fear of not coming back again.

Knee-deep mud sucking boots from feet,

tangled in barbed w...
