Under My Eye Lids

I am free and not

I am a warrior of the heart

I have meticulously prepared

I can feel the sun on my face

The field is waist high

I can feel the grass under my hand

My existence is under my eye lids

My heart is on fire

My head remembers your nuzzle
My arms feel my children at my chest

The sky suspends the residue

It's hard to breathe the smoke

I'm past striking out

My existence is under my eye lids

There is no fear

Would that there were

I go into battle with the perfect

Warrior heart

I embrace what I have lost

I know that I want nothing else

My existence is under my eye lids
