series created by Bayre and Sojourner84
In a war with no front enemies are not always obvious, and reality maybe nothing but illusion...
Doing battle in an unseen war.
Grudging participants in an age-old game.
Bonds reinforced by searing, red-tipped flame.
Bemused yet unceasing bravery the bedrock core
with each clash a valiant attempt to even the score.
Dark, sinister forces threaten to distort and maim
though we hold strong; justice and rectitude ours to claim.
Ever longing for the peace known once before.
Shrouded in destiny's cold embrace.
Upon us these unsung duties bestowed,
payment for debts all unowed.
Accepted with resignation more than grace.
Standing tall
while others fall.
--Vanessa Sgroi, 2008
