Prelude to Victory (The Warrior)

calling the shots,
at the helm
i flinch

but

under command,
submitting
i thrive

in deference...
freedom
in trust...
hope

fixed with Spirited sword
i am prepared for battle
yet 
Another rises
to fight for me

Warrior emerges
eternal
omnipotent
fierce

the Shield
full-bodied

complete

the City of Refuge

fortified

protected

the Strong Tower

sealed
safe

battle rages
left unscathed
crimson covering
washes pure

once formidable foe
cowers
retreats
slinks back 
toward eastern front

while 

toward western front

i walk donning

forgiven past

victorious present 

secured future
