Escape is not the way
not the only one at least
least of your concern
should be to satisfy
satisfy the enemy
the enemy that hunts
hunts to haunt you
till eternity if you escape
and not fight as you must.

Now this is my taste…I totally get this fine piece of work. I see that my characters have been struggling with your intent in all my works.
Nimue…now this one is mine
beautiful…no not beautiful…truthful—realistic…ok I don’t talk that way…it is beautiful

Life is what we make it, and what we fight for.. π
And the bummer is that the enemy is within.
This is great…I was struck by how it resonnated with the story I just posted. Love it when that kind of thing happens.
In the Wizard of Earthsea, the hero has to flee from the Dark. Eventually he learned that the only way to ever be free from running is to stand and face the Dark…and even call it. Like your poem, there is great wisdom in this. Interesting poem, to say the least! Thanks! hugs, pat
