Poem
Deep breath Then a shallow one What's that now? Another shallow one? And another OK, there is a deep one now And now a shallow And there is no rhythm to it There is no fixed interval The breathing is like a ship in rough seas Tossed and pushed around Randomly by inconsistent waves I know little else than this way to breathe Like spears tossed randomly at me One by one they pierce my flesh Fear Anxiousness Doubt Over and over again But over what? Over nothing No one is throwing them They just keep hurtling toward me So my body convulses as the steel cuts through me Again and again I think little of it Having lived with them so long From waking in the morning to going to sleep at night And sometimes even when I dream But wait ...... What's happening ..... This is .... What is this .... Help me I'm scared .... I don't know this .... Something is wrong .... No .... I'm in error ... Something is right .... Suddenly an angel has laced her two arms around me Pulling me toward her Into her soft silky bosom I feel the warmth of her skin I hear her strong heart beating And then I see it ..... Magic Thunder Every single spear breaks against her like paper The titanium and steel heads Deathly sharp and precise Shatter against her, instantaneously into dust The heavy wooden shafts are split into a million pieces So small that they may have well just disappeared Again and again and again Yet there are no marks on her Not one The shield remains unscathed What is this creature made of That she effortlessly shatters steel And crushes the earth She pulls and holds me tighter Kissing me on my forehead And as she does so Nothing hits her again Life surrenders and tosses nothing at her again At me again I lace my arms around her My beautiful indestructible shield My angel And as I do so, my heart beats With renewed strength With exacting amplitude In a perfect rhythm No longer do the spears pierce me No longer do they cut my flesh For they fear her terribly They do not dare come near her For they will meet only with destruction My infinitely powerful shield My angel
