In darkness, I brood about the task at hand for my death will free this noble land the final walk from this lonely tower will signal more than my final hour The bravest that I will ever be is when I face my eternity blood on my hands, guilt on my soul my death will then make me whole The battle lost, I pay for our sins but who’s to say which of us wins my death will make a martyr of me the price I pay to let men live free Fear flutters in my heart at the last with hooded face, my die is cast trembling, crying, awaiting the shroud I hang before the cheering crowd. |

The bravest that I will ever be is when I face my eternity blood on my hands, guilt on my soul my death will then make me whole This is more true than what we would like to think. Excellent! |

Thank you all for your kind words. This was written from a challenge phrase given to me over a year ago (it's a repost but got few replies the first time around). The title is the phrase I was to use. Thanks again! |

Whoa...you showed a little darker side there...but it was good. Though I got a few chills...from that cheering crowd. Tossing words like wishful coins into the deep well of an open heart. R. fox |

Very Shakesperian in feel, or maybe something even farther back comes to mind. Well done as always, PDV! Corinne |

Nice change of pace Sharon... may have to call you POEt devine Jamie Tu ne cede malis, sed contra audentior ito. - Virgil. "Yield thou not to adversity, but press on the more bravely". |
