sunkisses

Here i lie eyes closed, pressed gently against the soft green cushion of grasses
flourishing in abundance in this natural sanctuary.My very own Eden.
i can feel warm rays bathing my skin , giving a hint of copper toning where the sunrays land.
A gentle mid-autumn breeze gently gently carassing my bodice..
a vague involuntary smile catches the side on my lips..
my heavy clothes grumbling in the wind..
The undescribable tastes in fresh flowers and perfect leaves seducing my nostrils..
inhaling mouthfuls of rich air that quickly fills my lungs and energizes my body..
i have never felt so alive..
so connected to the earth whom bore my arms and feets..
the sun whom gave me eyes to see..
the trees whom made me whole ..

Here i stand,eyes squinted against the blistering afternoon sun reflected of bronze shields miles away..
battle cries , as a dramatic war scene grow larger and larger..
coming at me..
i am alone...
my sheild of self perserverence and control hangs grudgingly on my aching shoulders ..
beads of sweat burning my eyes and torching my skin....
my spear of Honour now blunted at its tip , takes its last victim ,a subject far out behind the enemies first line of defences..
my forearm burns of the effort as it draws its sword ..
Ah! thy sword of Faith ..
light as a feather , swift as a swallow, sharp as fresh cut glass , strong as diamonds..
swishing through the mangled bodies of my enemies ..
on at a time ..
rages surges through my veins ...

Gone are the halcyon days of the grass lands...but at last ..
it seems i can make it..it seems i can return my land , my people , myself..
to the time where a man could walk freely on the streets without the fear of assualts..
where women were no longer discriminated against but respected and cherished ..
where a father could raise his son himself and not loose him to the imperial armies..
i will fight..
but now .. i am no longer alone...

beams of sunlight shining down upon us..
warming the corpse cold bodies of my friends..
