i am armed with my tender soul (but yesterday it was blown around in the library by the man who bent too close, by the woman who sighed too loudly by the smell of someone's too old perfume)
i am armed with love
(but is that enough?)
fear has bought death into his corner and it doesn't feel like a fair fight
I'm still holding you in my arms, if you feel you are fading then use the strength of all of these people who have commented here. I'm sending you love and strength, you are ENOUGH to deal with all that is sent your way. xxx
You know, I think sometimes it's not a fair fight. That's just my experience. But I still find myself giving fear a run for its money. And I know you do too. I've got your back just as so many others have, darling. ♡
Incredibly powerful, and something that I am going to bring with me, to arm myself, into tomorrow morning (which could and probably will be distinctly unpleasant). God, it never feels like a fair fight -- but somehow, I keep rising up right past it -- so will you!

...here's my hand, a ghazal for the year's turn
-
sometimes watch your thoughts: leaves floating by on a stream
other times, hunt your thoughts down, be a predator
the witness knows which thoughts pass, ...
you armed with all you need!!!
