Not by might-
Darkness is vigilant-
By light.

Walking alone.
Enemies shielded by shadow.
Armor worn wears thin.

Flaming arrows fly
Striking,
Hitting heels.

Struggle and Stumble.
Tears and tears.
Failure.

Darkness advances,
Taking its toll.
Twelve tolls and the night is over.

Morning-
Not mourning-
Alights.

Revival:
Standing with strength,
Living towards longevity.

Walking in a pair
Support that never runs short,
Encouragement which conquers every ailment.
