Bright Light in the Night

My head is bloody.

My body is full of sores.

My soul is aching with pain.

I have lost my courage.

I have lost my strength.

The enemy is about to cut my head off

and end it all.

I was resigned to my dreadful fate.

 

But then I saw a light

piercing thru the face of the night

and alas!

I was awakened from my madness.

 

In the blink of an eye

I held my shield

and got my sword,

struck the enemy

and raised my head

towards the light!
