Robin Stumpfig

 

                Rendering the common peace

            Striking deep

            Saving the light

            Forging hope

 

            Obscuring darkness

            Clutching the thick mud

            Breathing the stale air

            Hurting, yelling, believing

 

            Bolstered in defeat

            You never stop

            Thrusting forward

            Against the inevitable

 

            Ingesting your sorrow

            Looking forward with sight

            To those

            Who love you

 

            Neglecting the evil

            Finding a way

            Out of the battle

            But you must stand

 

            Battered but unbroken
