Alone you stand
Facing demon enemy
Head bowed
Gathering strength again
Grasp with weary, aching hands
Your heavy, blooded sword
Wondering
How long, how long?
A quiet murmur at your shoulder
Turn your eyes and see
In gleaming armour
Gaze resolute, a warm but determined grin
A fleeting wink, a nod
Unexpected boon-
Not alone!
Heart skips one beat
And strength surges
Anew
Together raise
The battle cry.
(Jan. 22/12)
