Disengagement
It's hard to disengage from war these days I find
As battle ends, old tasks fall by, and I new duties find;
I guess it's that way, win or lose, for all whose time has come
To stand down and walk away once more.Three years of seasons, Christmas, New Year's, Summer’s special trips;
With cold, the heat, frustrations – come to grips;
Attempts to entertain self on those lonely nights;
Attempts that failed to push away the fright.It's not that battles are for all complete
More that for me time changes all, and now I meet
The challenge of a shift from duties done
To newer times, new distances to run.I'm glad we get a break, a change of scene,
To clear my head, return refreshed again
And face both life and death of friends and foes,
For so it is, as every soldier knows.navigation
