Touched

 Blocked at every turn

controlled and calm.

I have tested my patience 

against the forge of war. 

this days battle i have won.

I live with gratitude for the higher one.

Thank you, O wisest of the wise winds 

thank you, burning obstetrical of war

thank you sharp and  jagged stones beneath  my feet

thank you, tides of the firmament

and thank you spirit.

 O angel of strife

I have felt your touch

Thank you.
