Beautiful Warrior
An ode to all who are the essence of Brave Strong Courage.
Beautiful warrior
You have carried the hurt and pain
For too long it smothered your soul
The weight of it crushed you
Our world is vicious to beautiful bearers of light and love
You shrunk and shielded yourself
The poison arrows seared and burned
You bled, collapsed and died in your agony
Within your ashes a small spark remained
Your light grew and blazed
You emerge as brand new
An awesome creature
Fierceness and fury are your power
Burned away is your innocence and trust
You emerge equal parts strength and beauty
Your energy is stunning
You are fire
You are strength
You are brave, strong courage
Your rare gift made it possible for the deep cuts to destroy you
But it was the very thing that was your survival
Chase thunder
Hold lightning in your hand
Wield your power to shake the earth
