Nova Scotia/Nunavut Command of The Royal Canadian Legion www.ns.legion.ca 169 SEARCHLIGHTS By Wing Commander G.L.Creed R.C.A.F. Ghostly fingers, deadly white, Probing for me through the night… Darting here and glancing there – Pallid swordsmen of the air Slashing with a savage art From the depths to reach my heart… Parrying each flashing ray, Freedom’s wings pursue their way – Bound their target to achieve Onward through the darkness weave Flak drifts up on fiery breath – Gleaming tentacles of death… Faster than the night-wind I Through their mazes swiftly fly, Bending every nerve and will To the limit of my skill… God! I’ve done all I can do – Guess the rest is up to You!
