Shield-maiden

Hey check out this candid action shot of me and Kayla getting through life.

Some see beauty when dusk dawns night.

Some see wonder, stars twinkling bright.

Some see ember, cold bones aglow.

Some beam bright, eyes blind, alone.

My shield-maiden shines

when I dream shadow foe.

I tire, this soldier,

who fell long ago.

When the weight of my call

grays day dim, dark, dulls sight.

My shield-maiden, knight,

is my light in the night.

Shield-maiden
