She had dreamt of a time
When the world would be still
But the Warrior knew
She would long for the thrill
Of battle and tears
Of the path left unknown
How far she had travelled
How often alone
Not long ago
She turned her eyes from the black
But always inside her
She knew what she lacked
In her time on her terms
A new war would be waged
But she wouldn’t be held
Like a creature that’s caged
Instead she would rise
Like a phoenix from ash
Rise above all the mayhem
And find peace at last
