Blade
Careful, Precise and fluid
The warrior is all these things and more
The blade is his life, the air he breathes,
his erratic heart beat in the midst of battle
Yet, he needs to feel as well
And the blade is also his conduit to that
With his weapon, he sees life and death, worries and hopes
He judges them: innocent or guilty?
The blade is the decision: an used blade is the innocent
red blade signifies the guilty
What signifies an innocent or a guilty?
Sometimes things get muddled
and when a decision is made
all the warrior can do is stand back
and watch it all unfold...
