Ignota Bellator

A Chapter by therisa
"

An expanded and edited version, of my poetic response to, Momzilla's poem, "I AM the Journey". http://www.writerscafe.org/writing/MomzillaNC/1414651/

"
A single step taken
Just beyond 
Our comfort zone
Into Terra Incognita.

Coming to face
Our darkest fears
And worries.

In a manner
We're armoured
With the finest Kevlar
Money can buy.

Striding forward
With each step
Taken.

Knowing
A new and improved
Version of ourselves
Awaits us
Over the horizon.

Drawing forth
Our swords.

For the painful
But
Very necessary
Hand-to-hand combat
With our inner Daemons
And past injuries.

For those
Who are
Brave enough.

In testing their mettle
By Challenging
Themselves
As they heal.
