We're a Lot Like You Were (Linked Haiku)

                                         (USMC WW 2 Okinawa)


We’re a Lot Like You Were

Chopper blades turning
first real moment has arrived
training now instinct

copter touches down
leaping out through turbulence
vigilant alert
 
expectation gone
we are at calm in this storm
ready for the next

all moving as one
ultimate esprit de corps
flowing through our veins

duels on battlefield
are definitely answered
making us stronger

nothing future holds
could ever compare to this 
exhilaration

life after combat
spent slowing down to catch up
this our enigma
