POEM:
Peaceful Warrior

 



                       
The Warrior
                       adorned in golden armor
                       bearing the soul of masculine identity
                       From the round table he charts,
                       pondering upward.
                       Falling stars implode
                       like lifetimes...
                       scattered and lost.
                       Searching for the Grail,
                       the elusive mighty chalice.
   
                      "Drink from me" she whispers

                       He plans, he spars, he meditates
                       Visions of valor
                       for the Upright Warrior
                       bear lone witness
                       to his own absolution.

                      "Rise" she gently gestures

                       storming his ghosts
                       caught unaware.
                       Blood stained swords
                       devour his demons,
                       yet only time and rust
                       hold solace for the slain.

                      "Come" she beckons

                        As mountains crumble
                        and worlds divide.
                        Wise is the Warrior
                        who comprehends
                        the Holiest of unions.

                        She is silent

                        In a still small voice
                        he hears her heart cry
                       "Victory"
                        Sweet as it passes
                        through her lips
                        Yet sweeter to gaze upon
                        is her peaceful timeless
                        expression...
