and now as i ready myself to face my death my enemy stands ready and perfect thoughts since childhood in preparation for this moment a sword hanging above my head a lullaby suckled on mortality and weaned to be a vengeful ghost cold lightning drawn from the storm on my hip i ride the wind onto the field the name of my master my only prayer cherry blossoms raining down to wash away my fear and though we both die today i find perfection in my enemy our mingled blood making us brothers all life a dream this end the only reality

Alexandre, Thought provoking and beautifully penned, this leaves me wondering, is the enemy...I? Love your strong, vivid imagery. "Cold lightning/drawn/from the storm/on my hip" is particurly effective WELL DONE! (((HUGS))) and love, Karla. :)
