the warrior's ascension

 

from the ashes

of my grief

and horror

by the master's grace

i have been reborn

into compassion

to behold

the sanctity

of all creation

to feel

the longing

of every creature

to exist

my sword has turned

from iron to gold

i honor the master

by defending life
