| | Hi guys! I rarely update this poor old site anymore, I know. Me most sorry really! My life has been absolutely insane this past week, and for anyone who cares too, I could REALLY use some prayer right now. Been having a great deal of trouble at work and stuff. Too much drama one might say. :) Anyway, we had a little challenge going on at ff.net where you had to write a oneshot that was 221 words long and the last word had to start with the letter 'B'. Well, I took it a bit farther and did a poem instead! lol Hope you like! (P.S. That's me feeding the dolphin on my background pic. It was so bloody awesome!!! :)
"Bulwark" A wisping tendril of fog,
The chill of night,
A wish,
A want,
For all at last to be made right. A stealthy step,
A rapidly breathed breath,
A turn,
A halt,
A quick brush with death. A typical day,
In a not so typical life,
A ray,
A light,
In this a world of strife. Solitary perhaps at first,
Though not alone ere long,
A meeting,
An acquaintance,
A further defence against wrong. Though weakened by hateful war,
By no means slighted in heart,
A loyal,
A stalwart,
Friend ne'er to depart. Sometimes side by side,
More often back to back,
A blockade,
A fortress,
Against many an unseen attack. All for an endless expanse,
A stretch of winding time,
A revolving,
A rotation,
For the many saved, eternity divine. A partnership unfathomed,
A tie unknown by mortal eye,
Not by smile,
Not by pain,
Can this bond be brought to die. By way of many a fearsome storm,
Through ceaseless cycling terror,
Not one shot,
Not one arrow,
Does unbalance the half-burden of either bearer. Both gifted by One,
Yet aided by so few,
Ever remaining,
Ever sustaining,
Long after lone courage ought be torn through. Two striving as but one,
A force of justice beyond remark,
Alone one searching,
Alone one lost,
Together, a God-fashioned bulwark.
