Through the mist, I see your eyes,
captivating, inviting, whimsical to my folly;
Drifting through the swirling wind
I touch your hand, gently, softly...."Hello, be not afraid", your smile beckoned,
trembling, I chanced a touch,
least reality steals you away.Suddenly, strong you stand
A warrior, steeled in courage,
cunning, deadly,
Death's own talisman!The cold steel graces my chin,
lifting my face to you in supplication;
Sheathing death, you eyes soften
suckling my fears, calming my insecurities."I am afraid, afraid, afraid......"
A soft velvet, callused hand cradles
my whimpering, loving this trembling fool.I arose from the mist,
alone, save only this haunting memory...
"Am I mad, scared, or just a fool.....?"
"Come, Arise, Stand with me,
We are partners in life's deadly game;
"Courage is your armor,
Truth is your sword,
Honor, Your mantel."S.-T.
