The Warrior Victorious

A warrior in gleaming full armour white
stands ready on my soul's verdant field
While the red moon shines in the darkest of night
My hero, with sword and with shield.
Far across my soul's meadow green
They sit gnawing, clawing, they sit unaware
Of the warrior - unheeded and unseen
By those twin sisters, snarling and crouching there.

Then with a swift and mighty force
The warrior cries out and he charges ahead
Raising on high his great mighty sword
He fights them both - and then both are bled.
My warrior "Hope" gloriously fought not in vain
as "Despair" and "Depression" in victory were slain!
