Warrior

The Warrior on the path is always alone
A quiet riot
Breaks new ground
Fearlessly enters no-man’s land
Seeking fear, hunting it!
Knows the journey is within
Where humility knows no praise
Where rejection is the norm
Where pain is a band-aid
The Warrior’s concern is not to be caught unaware
Needs the frontier
The cutting edge
Reconciled to equanimity, accepting - powerful!
The Warrior does not want to control
Wants to shape-shift
Wants to die into every moment
To participate in everything & all
Ultimately becoming nothing at all
To be re-born
Naked before the Kingdom.
