A Brave Warrior Passed On His Battle Scars

A Brave Warrior Passed On His Battle Scars Great warrior gave me his used battle sword battered and bloody stained with glowing red. Greatest of gems in hidden treasure hoard now his adventure is long gone, long dead. There was deep kindness in his last giving generous, bound with honorable pride. Superb gem, passed on to one now living respect well earned, he had nothing to hide. Ages have swiftly flown by, and his gem shines mirrors the seeking light in my tired soul. As the end approaches, past fights refines the depths of my long journey's desired goal. A brave warrior passed on his battle scars. Adding again, treasures to distant stars. Robert J. Lindley Note- A genetic legacy from one of my Viking ancestors.... Great warrior gave me his used battle sword battered and bloody stained with glowing red.

Wrote it once for me, once again for he that visited me in a dream.. Quite a vivid dream and a connection made that tells me it was a message sent.. My muse agreed....
