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.
