Choka 5/7 5/7 5/7 5/7/7
A chapter in the book One Thousand Cranes
Samurai's Battlefield
by Gypsy Blue Rose
Alone and wounded, melancholic thoughts linger over armor scraps, fighting to keep memories of my son’s laughter and my wife’s warm touch alive as passion’s cinders plunge my raging heart afar when blood runs red where I stand

"Your soul is oftentimes a battlefield, upon your reason and your judgment wage war against your passion and your appetite. God has placed in each soul an apostle to lead us upon the illumined path. Yet many seek life from without, unaware that is within them." --Khalil Gibran
