The Spark Within

A poem about a warrior mustering the courage within to face internal and external problems

The Spark Within by M. Lowery

Four seasons pass,
Enemies rise to meet me
In fields, quarries, forests.
Oh, what a great mass!

I ready my sword and shield
For a battle heavy and hot.
The enemies rush toward me
With blade, hammer, and arrow shot.

By the Maker, I must face them.
Fear shakes my bones
Pain threatens to lay me low.
But the spark within
Urges me on. I must not falter or slow
