Euphoria Midnight
King Leonidas marched outside his house after a warm evening with his spouse
He came up to a large silent stone
He knew that tomorrow would be violent, so it was good to be alone
His thoughts were many and they troubled him
But he knew that he still no matter what had to win
After having a seat on the rock and taking a big sigh he gazed up at the dark azure night sky
It seemed endless, and its mystical light was relentless
Just like the power of his troops, they were the only proof that Sparta still had a sense of pride
Hence so many these days took the bribe
King Leo knew in his mind that it was only a matter of time
Xerxes was coming soon, and many innocent were about to meet their doom
Still, he knew that his soldiers would sacrifice their lives for their nation, and protect many from horrific devastation
A big smile came across his face
A loss wasn't possible in this fulsome place
He and his warriors tomorrow would not retreat for that would be worse than deadly defeat
They would stand and fight, charge at day, and plunder by night
He knew that the god king would come
But the golden days of Greece and Sparta had only begun.
