Lost in thought

A villian walked towards me
And with my sword held out
He trembled away as his cowardly self.

Another came and I held my sling
He tried to fight but I called out
More Mightily any can overcome.
He too trembled away.

I sat down
And my sword lay against my lap.
I had already fought battle after battle.
The scars and the bloodstains frighten some,
But I hold up pretty well I guess.

The protection around me cannot be defeated.
Victory is already won,
But they keep fighting.
   So do I.

And I keep pressing on,
And others tremble when they see me
The scars .. and that armor, oh, its glorious
Fit for more than a king.

A lord of this earth would have lesser armor.
And so all I need to do is call out
And they run,
   If I keep fighting.

As long as my sword is kept out for them to see
Double edged.
It cuts through marrow.

Shining silvery, outlined warrior.
Bravery, courage, heroism,
Truth and strength.

Does it bleed to the inside?
Can you tell whats underneath?
I wouldn’t be so sure.


- And so it was that time stood still -
     (blink, breathe, stand, fight)

half the battle of winning lays in the imagery of one's thoughts first. You sure sound like a winner to me.
