Warrior

Just something i wrote when my bother was deployed, with a bit more ancient vibe.

/////

The sword is my body

And I am the body of my sword

Sword of  my bone

Steel covers my body and fire is my blood.

I have wielded over a thousand blades

For I am not known to death

Nor known to life.

I have withstood agony to protect many

Yet alone I stand, for in my life I must remain solitary.

I have never sat in the recliner known as happiness

Nor do I meet many who do.

I am here standing in this eternal fight

Yet this eternity happens in an instance.

I desire to protect

Yet that desire cannot be met unless it is violated

I say to those willing to oblige

With an answer of the sound my sword makes as it is unsheathed
