Fadeing is the light Pushing back the pain I slip into peace I join the battle For which i was bred to fight Withing the darkness I am not alone Lost within the past Waiting for the night We gather among the shadows Armed with what we have That which we own Faith is our sheild Justice is our blade Compassion is our cause Acceptance empowers us We fight for the future We make it our own Without the impulse of hatred And the pledge of free will We will win back our legasy The paths of our choosing Will be ours once more From the sacrafice of many |

enjoyed this greatly. makes me think of a vision that was had by george washington, before america won its independence. oddly enough, two of the events from the vision have come to pass... we await the third... your poem makes me think of the aftermath, rebuilding and relearning after the third event from his vision comes to pass. i like the wee three line stanza's that each comnplete a terse, well expressed thought. |

Faith, Justice, Compassion and Acceptance all empower us. *sigh* yes ABSOLUTELY STUNNING. I am left in awe of this wonderful poem about life. You have said it so perfectly. Thank you, so much, for sharing it with me. Love I leave with you whether it is in your life now or yet the essense of your dreams. |
