Bare the onslaught.
Be one with the maelstrom.
Let chaos be your blood
and the fire your skin.
It’s coming,
the worst day of your life.
Will you be ready?
Can you be ready?
It is said
that all things change
with perspective.
The setting of the sun
is not the coming dawn.
Every day could be
an intercession.
Become comforted
by the uncomfortable
and know
that on the day
misfortune tops your ramparts,
you will be steel.
Not raw,
and young,
and waiting to be tested
by the enemy.
You’ve stood in the forge
and this new Hell
will break it’s face upon you.
