Entry for December 24, 2005 ARMOR.
(MY GIFT TO THE WORLD, IF I CAN MAKE YOU THINK, LAUGH, CRY,SING OR SCREAM.
IF I HAVE NO OTHER PURPOSE, SO BE IT. I HAVE DONE MY JOB.
( THIS IS DEDICATED TO NO ONE, THIS IS DEDICATED, TO EVERYONE, TO ME AND TO YOU. MOVE FORWARD, DON'T LOOK BACK. BE THANKFUL FOR THOSE IN YOUR LIFE AND THOSE WHO TOUCH OUR SOULS.)
NOT EVERYONE WHO ASKS YOU TO TAKE OFF YOUR CHAIN MAIL, ARMOR AND LAY DOWN YOUR SWORD, WHEN THE TWO OF YOU ARE ALONE, IS OUT TO WOUND YOU OR BURY THE DAGGER TO THE HILT. SOME,THE FEW, THE CHOSEN, STAND ARMS OPEN WIDE.
SOME JUST WISH TO REMOVE THE WEIGHT OF THE ARMOR, FOR A BRIEF MOMMENT. TO APPLY HEALING OINTMENTS TO THE WOUNDS AND SCARS.
I TO WEAR MY ARMOR, CARRY MY SWORD, TRUST NONE BUT THE FEW, THE CHOSEN, THE ONE.
I TO HAVE MY SCARS, MY WOUNDS, HAVE BEEN TORTURED AND BURNED. YET I STILL STAND, MY HEART STILL BEATS. I FEAR ALL, AND YET FEAR NOTHING.
IF I WERE TO DIE IN BATTLE TOMORROW, I SHALL DIE WHOLE, FOR I HAVE BEEN WERE NO MAN HAS BEEN BEFORE, I HAVE SEEN THE EYES OF A WARRIOR MAIDEN, A DARK ANGEL.
I DO NOT FEAR ANYMORE. I HAVE TOUCHED AND BEEN TOUCHED, FLESH AND SOUL, I HAVE BEEN BATHED IN BLOOD. IN HER ESSENCE, HER LIFE FORCE. SHE HAS GIVEN A GIFT UNTO ME, UNKNOWINGLY, YET HAS GIVEN FREELY, LAYING DOWN HER ARMOR AND HER SWORD, FOR A BITTER SWEET MOMMENT. ALWAYS BY HER SIDE READY FOR BATTLE. ASKING FOR NOTHING OF ME, EXCEPT TO BE ME.
DARK EYED ,ANGEL, A WARRIOR MAIDEN, A QUEEN. NONE SHALL EVER SHINE SO BRIGHTLY.
NOR STAND SO TALL, HER SHADOW BLACKS OUT THOSE WHO THINK THEY ARE GREATER THAN HER. THEY ARE BUT MERE FOOLS. MORTALS.
HER FIRE MAY BE CONTAINED IN A SMALL PACKAGE. BUT THE FIRE THAT BURNS WITHIN, IS A BLAZE GREATER THAN THE SUN.
