My Reward by Keith Forsythe

By Raja's Insight on July 10, 2019 • ( 0 )

Finally my luck has run out

The battle done

Enemies vanquished

My wound pulsing crimson rivulets

Fallen on weak knees

Struggling to suck in ice cold air

Lungs shredded by my enemies’ blade

Pebbles and rocks tearing into battered flesh

Rain pounding down upon my bowed head

As the wind buffets me

The scent of wet steel and earth caress my nostrils

Pungent yet inviting

My weathered blade so strangely heavy

My hand trembles with utter weariness

Stars reflected in dirty puddles of water

Glimmer softly to my dimming eyes

My shade rises slowly as Odin calls

Valhalla awaits

My reward
