I am a knight, I die to live.
I give all that I have to give.
And everyday I stand up tall;
I stand for truth, to save them all.
With every battle you can hear
The sound of prayer… and just one tear
Upon my cheek, washing the blood,
It travels down into the mud.
My blade and armor never crack
It’s me, that’s turning thick blood black.


I am a knight, I live to die.
With every breath I start to cry.
I bout for all I know is right,
But I can hardly stand to fight.
The blood pours thickly from my skin;
Don’t think I even want to win.
My body aches upon each breath,
My heart is longing for its death.
And so I struggle, stand, and fall.
I’m quickly learning how to crawl.

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

This is very descriptive. Great job.

We are all equal but we’re individually different
and able to reach the impossible if we try.

Enjoyed the imagery here.

If nothing is something
then everything is
our thoughts and feelings
and all that exists.

(big hugggsssssss) Oh Alyssa, you CAN win, and you can do so simply by believing you will claim victory for the good of others and defeat lies and prejudice with good and love! (sigh) We all send angel hugs your way, sweet friend, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Alyssa, thank you for sharing!



May love and light always shine upon you!

Love,
Noah Eaton

mysticpoe,
Thanks, the images of battle, like this, can be fun to play with in the mind. So painful, too.

Always, Alyssa

Oh sweet Noah,
you're so innocent.. but for me, I won't win, I never have, and I'm ok now with the fact that I never will. Victory though, is won. It will never be something I experience though, until death. To hear "well done good and faithful servant" is all I long for now... and I'll die every day for the God I love. Thank you for your sweetness...

Always, Alyssa

mytuesdaywishes,
well lemme tell ya, chivalry isn't very alive anymore. Thats why the battle field is so hard... We need more warriors out here willing to live and to die for Truth.
Thanks for replying!
Always, Alyssa
