The Warrior

poem about a warrior

The spirit of a fighter
The hunger of a tiger
His sword an extension
Of his very being

He fights the battle
Inside his mind
Playing out his moves
Each in perfection

His opponent
Aprehensive
As he glimpses
The fire in his eyes

The battle now fought
Upon the field
Flashes of silver
Metal clashing on metal

The opponent struck down
The warrior steps back
Honour, integrity, discipline
All part of the code
