The Strength and the Knowing

Holding a hand up in a fist

Kneeling as a knight before an enemy

Defiance

Loyalty

Determination

Bowing of the head and closing of the eyes

Sweat dripping down the brow

As shoulders heave with every aching breath

The body is weak but the mind is strong

Holding vision with inner strength

A shaking fist is better than none at all

If that is all there is…

Then defiance and determination, shall lead an army through the growing darkness of the eve, into the light of a new and victorious dawn.
