“MYSTIC WARRIOR

I’ve fought side by side with him
through the centuries
He holds the sword that doubles rainbows
He negotiates with the moon
Racing with the wind
He annihilates all my demons
He resuscitates my fallen battle horse
Gallops next to me back to the front of the line
and reminds me that courage must be in
my every step in order to win
for just an inkling of terror in the heart
is the strategy of loss
and to stay alive is to further one’s destiny
but one has to struggle beyond simple existence
to attain the outcome of fulfillment

― Nancy Atherton, Aunt Dimity and the Deep Blue Sea
