Then the Darkness Comes: a Veterans Truth Through Poetry Mr. John Colyer

Then the Darkness Comes, by author John Colyer, is about the emotions of a young soldier in the National Guard and Army after he returns home from the service. A proud young man that has served his country well. A man that has saw things no man should see. He returned home to find a country that he fought and paid dearly for but, a people that didn't honor his courageous fight or what it cost him personally. This is the story in poetry form of a young soldier and his life after war. The nightmarish dreams and darkness that comes in the day or night to creep up and steal a man's joy and love for life. A man who tries to fight the same fight he fought for his country...to survive with honor.
