A Warriors Tale As he prepares himself the warrior is experiencing disquiet in his abdomen, a chill running through his body Each step toward the arena is closer to the source of his tension, he resolves to bring with him all his inner strength Gathering intensity, he resolves to meet his task with full force His feet hit the rubber mat, he is focussed on his purpose Putting fear aside, he sets about his task Using the fire he has inside, he feels the cold iron in his hands Fighting with everything he has, dredging deep into his reserves he battles onward Just when exhaustion threatens to overtake, he reaches deeper still Rivers of perspiration soil his mantle, spittle runs down his chin, he searches for the beast inside him When at last he can find no more strength, he bows to the overwhelming difficulty of his undertaking Feeling drained of energy yet at the same time exhilarated, he leaves with his head held high He knows a day will soon come when he will emerge completely victorious But for now he takes comfort in his small triumph Warrior Poet
