Warrior

I know
Life's battles
And you can 
End up
Wounded

I can not
Carry your pain
This was done
Before
And does not
Resolve
The pain
Of your wounds

But I can
Show you
Where you can
Heal yourself
And arm yourself
For the future

In fact
You know
Where to go
From here

It hurts me
To see
A wounded warrior

You can get stronger
From within
I can never
Do this for you
Even if I really wanted
To do this

I have seen
Who you are
And what you will achieve

Heal yourself
Warrior
Because
You are beautiful
Warrior
And strong

We need
Warriors
Like you

Not for mortal battles

But for
The freedom
Of yourself
And others

I will always know
That you are there

The Female Warrior

The historian would  like you
To believe
All battles were fought by men
Alone
While in magic periods
In the past
Decisive victories were won
By female warriors

It does not necessarily take
Political fights
To make the world to see
The power
That is in a woman to be
As fact
Just like it can be found
In a man

If she knows clearly well
Her goals
And is willing to show them
To the world
As a warrior she all by herself
Can defeat 
An army of men or women
Alike

It takes strength on the part 
Of a man
To be willing to face the fact
Not easy at times
That a woman can be as strong
In life
And fight for her aims
Big or small


It is the warrior inside
Of her
That makes the beauty 
That she is
Come out and for the world
To see
And makes her undeniably so
Irresistable


With a man together as they are
Who can listen
And who allows her the space
In which to create
The female warrior can take part
Not in mortal battles
Necessary as in the past but the current 
Battle of the human mind 
And freedom

Sonata de future

In those battles to come

When life has taken on

Another form, another view

After the circle of life

Was ended at the point

Where another cycle was begun

I walk on with memories

As the only way by which I know
What path I have been trailing

It's then when

My road through life

Leads me to a warrior

And when we meet

She disarms herself and shows

The nudity of her soul

Her strength which is humbleness

Her beauty which is from within

The elegance of her motions

And the power in her eyes

And she sings a song for me

To lay my mind at rest

She fights a battle when I plan

For the next step to take

And she takes my rose

In knowing that

All is understood.
