-- In the thick of it --
i was handed a vicious defeat the other day
my fear gnawed in my stomach, my hands quivered,
but my faith was resolute.
i suspect my time is limited, that soon the clarion call to battle will sing out,
that i will be forced to abandon the niceties of this writing and ride out into battle.
by His will i am still here, and by His will i will still fight
