The Battle by kram2

The Battle
by kram2

Now the battle field lays still,
the only reminder my bloodied sword
yet dripping from the kill.

I look around and see nothing but death,
It hangs in the air as I struggle
to catch my breath.

As I turn and walk back to retrieve my horse,
I wonder what my life would be like if It had
not taken this course.

But then I ride into town,
and see the grateful faces
of the villagers all gathered around.

And that's when it all seems so clear,
because of me the people of this village
can go on living without fear.

So I smile and continue on my way,
knowing I will always fight the evil
until my dying day.
