My Shield, Your Sword

Folder: 
Renaissance

deflecting blows,

stopping the oncoming torrent

of the things that want to destroy me;

you are my shield.

 

Together we show our potential;

to shrug off attacks and move

forward into the worlds beyond 

what we thought possible. 

 

The journey was only possible 

and the only way forward is

with you

I could not see it any other way.

 

I never knew how much

I needed you so that I

could heal until you

came to my side;

 

My Shield.

 

My armor is broken;

cracked, shattered, failing,

and yet I know you'll be there

at my side.

 

Holding you close, I know 

together we can 

overcome the tides

of all battles.

 

The sun shines brighter 

with you shining back

in the glorious beauty

of your glow.

 

Together we can survive

into the future that we

can't see into the 

tides of time. 

 

What is a knight without 

a shield and what is

a knight without a sword

at their side? 

 

And so I hope to protect you

in the same way 

and so I will be

Your Sword.
