My Soul, My Warrior

opening lines of the first canto of the Inferno........
In the middle of the way of our life
I found myself in a dark forest
Where the right way was lost.
Oh how hard a thing it is to tell (about)
This wild dark forest, bitter and strong,
That just to think about it renews the fear!

My Soul, My Warrior


 


 


I lay down my weariness


At this journeys peak,


I rest for a moment


- Cradled in peace.


I know in my heart,


The way is by truth


But fear lurks at the edge


Of my wretchedness -


Begging for habit and merciless


Retreat.


Hero within empower my stance


Strengthen my valour


With passion - I must provoke.


Encouraged by failure


Fuelled by despair


Armed with loneliness


This battle I do dare.


Engineered with faith


Founded on glory,


This journey I continue


Determined,


Anointed and


Sealed –


Graced by the love of  Jove.
