Call of the Moment

When strong is the call, however bleak the moment,
a leader within rises as the one lone exponent
to champion Life, both of limb and throne,
while Doom looms in darkness to gnaw on fallen bones.

No time for Fear or those common day distractions
that do weigh us down. Only time for action !
No time for pondering or asking why.
The deed must be done. It's yours to do or die !

What leaps from the shadows into the hearts of Man
that's courageous to protect and defiant to defend ?
It lunges out a pit dug from trembling Despair
where sins of fractured failures whisper doubts into your ear.

It charges with a sword to cleave those Fears made real
from your mind, now that's fearful, needing fearless nerves of steel
to clench the fists and muscle, to make the backbone steady,
to plant the feet and grit the teeth and make your leader ready,

It leaps from your heights with Conviction held in hand
to plunge into your pulsing heart embattled to take a stand.
Any cracks in human spirit will bathe in a Faith that seals
so even Courage can't leak from cowards on the open battlefields.

Resist what resists in you, for it undermines your gain.
Make it kneel vanquished at your thrones of fleeting Fame
and you will reign empowered to make your Soul and Mind
defeat all Dooms of darkness when the moment calls next time.

Rad – Thanks Rad. I hope this comes in handy when most needed. Namyh

Margherita – You should have seen the rewrites. But if it puts a profound in your day, I’m more than glad to have written it and the rewrites were worth it. Thanks for your wonderful words. Namyh

Anniepimm – I figured we can all use a mental pick-me-up from time to time. I just hope this helps to fill that bill. Thanks Anniepimm for your enjoyment. Namyh
