A Warrior's prayer
I am afraid
of the dark
ness.
Not that it would harm me.
It cannot
touch me.
Not really.
Not in the essence of who
I AM.
I am more afraid
it would spill over,
and cause the horror
and madness
to harm those
I love.
And I guess,
there is no guarantee
that it would not happen.
But then agai:
a policeman
or a soldier,
or a father in a warzone,
does what is needed.
And there is no guarantee,
except for
the blessings of the Gods,
the refuge of the High One,
the ancestral protections,
the prayers of our grandmothers,
the sword of our grandfathers,
and ultimately…
The knowing
that cannot be expressed
with words.
Come what may
I wil do, be and become
all that is needed.
And leave the rest
to Existence.
Amen
